Description
View of a salt flat (sabkha) with sparse vegetation in Liwa oasis. A large sand depression lies in the foreground, bare of living vegetation. In the salt flat beyond, salt bushes are scattered across the flat. A few clusters of date palms grow along the far edge of the flat, where it is met by high, sloping dunes.
