Sam Sand Dunes

While the Sam Sand Dunes themselves are a natural geological feature formed over millennia by wind and sand deposition, their significance as a tourist destination is relatively recent. Historically, the area was sparsely populated, primarily inhabited by nomadic communities. With the rise of tourism in Rajasthan, the potential of the dunes as a unique experience was recognized. Over the past few decades, infrastructure has been developed to cater to tourists, including desert camps, transportation, and entertainment facilities. The local communities have also benefited from the increased tourism, finding employment in the hospitality sector and showcasing their cultural heritage. The dunes have become a symbol of Jaisalmer's desert charm, attracting visitors from across the globe.
