The Rig-e Jenn (Persian: ریگ جن, lit. 'Dune of the Jinn'), or Desert of Spirits,[1] is an area of sand dunes straddling Semnan province and Isfahan province in Iran's Great Salt Desert.[2]
According to desert folklore, the dunes are inhabited by malevolent spirits and demons.[3] It is believed that those who venture into the dunes are destined to never return.[4]
