Image title
Satellite photo of the Rub al Khali desert - Rub 'al Khali desert seen from space - Rub al-Khali (the Empty Quarter), is one of the largest deserts and the largest uninterrupted expanse of sand in the world. It covers nearly 600,000 square kilometres in the Arabian Peninsula, located mostly in Saudi Arabia and in the territories of Yemen, Oman and the United Arab Emirates. The image obtained by the Landsat-7 satellite on 26 August 2001 shows the sand dune fields separated by flat and saline stretches, sebkha (or sabkha). The Arabian Peninsula's Empty Quarter, known as Rub 'al Khali, is the world's largest sand sea, holding about half as much sand as the Sahara Desert. The Empty Quarter covers 583,000 square kilometers (225,000 square miles), and stretches over parts of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates. The Enhanced Thematic Mapper on Nasa's Landsat 7 satellite captured this image of the Empty Quarter on August 26, 2001. The area shown resides in southeastern Saudi Arabia, midway between the United Arab Emirates to the north and Oman in the south. Parallel rows of salmon - pink and white alternate to create a rippling pattern. White salt flats, known as sebkhas or sabkhas, separate the dunes. These salt - encrusted plains vary in hardness, in some places creating a surface strong enough to drive a vehicle over, in other places disappearing into sand. The sand dunes soar above the salt plains between them
