The southern region of Mongolia, known as the Gobi, is a popular destination for tourists. This area includes Govi provinces such as Umnogovi, Dundgovi, Dornogovi, and Govsumber. The Gobi is particularly famous for its stunning natural beauty, unique geological formations, and rare wildlife, including Argali Sheep, Ibex, Snow Leopard, Equus, Khawtgai (Wild Camel), and Mazaalai (Gobi Bear) which are not found in other parts of the world. The region is also known for its large mining deposits and prehistoric dinosaur fossils. Visitors can explore fascinating places such as Khongor Sand Dune, Bayanzag, Khermen Tsav, and Shar Tsav Nemegt Tsav, which were once the bottom of an ancient sea.
