Description
View of a sand dune and a date palm grove in Liwa oasis. A sand dune lies in the foreground, dotted with vegetation. In the salt flat (sabkha) beyond a grove of date palms grows. In the far distance scattered salt bushes grow on the far edge of the plain, below a watchtower that sits on the slope of a far dune overlooking the flat.
