Description
View of dunes in Al Batin sands in the Empty Quarter (Rub' al Khali). A low dune slopes down into the foreground. A few small bushes cling to its left face. Beyond this first ridge a higher dune rises at the right. In the far background more wind-rippled dunes, dotted with sparse points of vegetation, fill the horizon.
