Samar Sand Dunes Nature Reserve is really something fun to do while touring the Arava Valley. But what is the big attraction there? So first you got to comprehend from how far these grain of sand came from! The Samar sand dunes were formed over thousands of years as grains of crumbled Nubian sandstone from the Timna valley.

Well, how about Flyomh a kite? I mean these dunes are high; some good wind can fly your kite way high over your heads. You can bring a million-dollar kite or you can also use a simple kite; the kind you buy for a dollar and a half on eBay. Or prepare at home. Keep in mind that the latter type is not sure you will be able to fly but the main thing is intention right?
