Many tourists refer to Mui Dinh as a "little desert", "Vietnamese version of the Sahara Desert",... because of this unique natural feature.

Another unique thing that makes Mui Dinh a "must-not-miss" destination when traveling to Ninh Thuan is that the scenery changes many times a day. According to local people, this is due to strong winds blowing continuously, blowing the sand away, causing the sand dunes here to frequently change shape.
