On Wednesday, Salma shared a rare picture of herself enjoying a spectacular sunset with her teenage daughter, Valentina.

The pair took the shot after enjoying an unusual pastime. As shopping is currently off-limits due to COVID-19 restrictions, the mother and daughter instead went quad biking in the sand.

"Desert love," the Bliss star captioned the post as she lovingly embraced her daughter from behind.

The star's fans could barely handle the adorable snapshot, with one writing: "Beautiful," another adding: "OMG you two," and a third commenting: "Desert beauties."
