Description
View of newly planted date palms at a palm grove in Liwa oasis. In the foreground a number of young date palms, some still small shoots, have been planted in rows. Behind the new palms a more established grove of date palms grows on the far edge of the salt flat (sabkha). Small salt bushes grow scattered across the open sand between the groves.
