Desert sunset
Watching the sun go down on a drive back to Abu Dhabi. Note the sand blowing across the dune as the wind picks up at late day in the Empty Quarter area of the UAE giving rise to the brilliant yellow-orange colors. The Rub' al Khali is the largest contiguous sand desert in the world, encompassing most of the southern third of the Arabian Peninsula. The desert covers some 650,000 square kilometres including parts of Saudi Arabia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. It is part of the larger Arabian Desert.
