These two sand dunes both “sing” when sand rolls down their sides. But they sing quite differently. For [the] full story behind these dunes, see: http://www.agu.org/news/press/pr_archives/2012/2012-47.shtml
One of the dunes is near Tarfaya in Morocco. The other one is in Oman.

I have never been in the desert in Oman; but I was in the desert in Morocco🙂
I would like to go next year for holiday, or Tibet or India🙂
I hope that you will have a good holiday🙂
