Visit early morning for cooler temperatures and the stunning sunrise colors that bring the dunes to life. Late afternoon light also creates fantastic shadows and photo opportunities.
Budgettips
Entry fees are about $5 for international visitors, cheaper for residents; visiting during off-peak hours can help avoid paying extra for guided tours. There are no free days, but combining the visit with a National Park pass saves money.
