In 1991, the United Nations designated the Gobi as the fourth largest biosphere reserve in the world. The Gobi is vast. It covers almost a third of Mongolia and though it is classified as a desert, it is not as lifeless as the first time visitor might reasonably expect. While it is an arid area of largely homogeneous scrubby steppe, it is dotted with camel breeders and some fascinating natural wonders. The Gobi consist of two distinct parts. There is Altai Gobi to the south and Dzungarian Gobi to north. Of the two, it is the south Gobi was provides the biggest draw for sightseers.
