The trip started with Phan Rang as the first stop. Stepping out of Nha Trang airport, the heat rushed in, making both of us dizzy, but when we arrived in Phan Rang, it was still hot but much drier and more pleasant... Let's start a trip of discovery 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Excursion to Phan Rang
We really enjoyed the trip! We stayed in Nha Trang and decided to unwind after the daily restaurant/spa/beach/market rush.
And we're so glad we did!
The program included:
1. Shell Temple
2. Dragon's Labyrinth
3. Petting Zoo (over 20 species, which we got to feed and pet). And the capybaras were so cute!!!
4. Vineyards (wine, grape, and dried fruit tasting). It really makes you realize how small the native Vietnamese are.
5. Nature reserve – a former sea turtle rescue center. We saw an ancient reef (over 1,000 years old), a stunning sea view, and photo zones.
6. Lunch
7. Vĩnh Hy Bay – such a gorgeous BLUE-BLUE SEA! Cliffs, mountains!
8. Glass-bottom boat ride (snorkeling, swimming).
Highly recommended! #phanrang #zoo #phan_rang

An exotic landscape found in Southeast Asia: the Phan Rang Desert
#DecemberTravelSupport
I took advantage of one day of my trip to Nha Trang to take a day trip from Nha Trang to Phan Rang.
The very idea of seeing a desert in Southeast Asia was incredibly exciting, and the actual scenery was even more impressive than I expected.
The endless sand dunes were so exotic that it was hard to believe they were in Vietnam, and the experience of driving a jeep through the desert added even more excitement to the trip. The thrill of gliding up and down the sand, combined with the scenery, made for a memorable experience.
Although it was a short trip, I experienced a completely different atmosphere from the seaside of Nha Trang, making this a highly recommended course for those looking to experience a different side of Vietnam.
‼️Notes
✔️Sun protection is essential: The desert offers little shade, so be sure to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
✔️Clothing: Due to the sandy conditions, long pants, thin long-sleeved shirts, and sneakers are recommended. ✔️Safety while riding a Jeep: The ride can be rough, so hold on to the handrails and follow the driver's instructions for safety. ✔️Hydration: As the temperature is high and dry, it is recommended to prepare plenty of water.

📍Phan Rang Desert
Located about 1.5 to 2 hours south of Nha Trang, Phan Rang Desert is a rare desert landscape in Vietnam. The area features sand dunes, rocky terrains, and coastal cliffs shaped by the dry climate and strong winds. Particularly, the area around Mui Dinh Lighthouse is famous for its unique scenery where the sea meets the desert.
