Land sailing,/sand yachting/ land yachting in Sahara Desert, Marsa Alam, Red Sea, Egypt Land sailing, also known as sand yachting or land yachting, is the act of moving across land in a wheeled vehicle powered by wind through the use of a sail. The term comes from analogy with (water) sailing. Historically, land sailing was used as a mode of transportation or recreation. Since the 1950s it has evolved primarily into a racing sport. But, in the Sahara Desert, is nowadays for the Bedouins a valid alternative to the dromedaries.
