View of a salt flat ...

View of a salt flat and dunes in Al Batin sands in the Empty Quarter (Rub' al Khali). In the foreground a large bush grows on the left in a flat sandy area at the top of a dune. Just behind the bush is a deep sand trough which leads to a second dune ridge. The second dune is marked by camel tracks and footprints. Beyond the depression is a large salt flat (sabkha), which is bordered by far wind-rippled dunes and dotted with some sparse vegetation.
