Description
View of a large sand dune in the Al Qafa' or As Saruq region north of Liwa oasis. A large dune with deeply ridged slopes and a crescent-shaped crest fills the view. Small tufts of vegetation grow in a line along the bottom of the dune. Further behind a bush grows below a ridge in the middle of the dune, while the rest of the dune is bare of vegetation.
