Description
View of a sand flat in Al Batin sands in the Empty Quarter (Rub' al Khali). In the foreground a high dune is marked by a line of footprints along the crest. In the distance a large flat plain, almost bare of vegetation, lies below a far wind-rippled dune. At the far right a small area of vegetation dots the area where the dune meets the flat.
