The Sam Dunes Camp & Resort

Sām, also transliterated Saam, is a mythical hero of ancient Persia, and an important character in the Shahnameh epic. He was the son of Nariman, grandson of Garshasp and father to Zāl. Disheartened by his son Zāl being born with white hair, he ordered that Zāl be left at the Alborz mountains which were home to the Simurgh. The Simurgh cared for the young Zāl until Sām was influenced by a dream to reunite with his son. Sām was Iran's champion during the rule of Fereydun, Manuchehr and Nowzar. He was appointed by Manuchehr to rule Zabulistan (Sistan), and then Mazandaran. After Manuchehr, because of Nowzar's corrupted and failed rulership, Iranian champions asked Sām to rule Iran. Sām did not accept; he supported Nowzar and advised him to follow Fereydun and Manuchehr. Sām returned to Mazandaran, and died soon after that. Afrasiab then attacked Zabulistan. In Shahnameh Saam is associated with strength, bravery, and nobility.

Sām is a small village that is situated in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan, India. The town is known for its beautiful sand dunes, which are a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the true essence of the Thar Desert. Sām is also home to a number of traditional Rajasthani havelis (mansions), which are a testament to the town's rich cultural heritage.

One of the main attractions of Sām is the breathtaking sunset that can be witnessed from the sand dunes. The golden hues of the sun as it sets over the desert landscape create a truly mesmerizing sight that is not to be missed. You can also opt for a camel ride through the sand dunes, which is a fun and unique way to explore the area.
