Satellite photo of the Rub al Khali desert - Rub 'al Khali desert seen from...

IMAGE number
PIX4658475
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 Terra satellite on 2 December 2005 covers an area of 54.8 km by 61.9 km and shows the fields of sand dunes 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 ASTER instrument on Nasa's Terra satellite captured this image of the Empty Quarter on December 2, 2005, covering an area of 54.8 x 61.9 km, located near 20.7 degrees north latitude, 53.6 degrees east. Grey White salt flats, known as sebkhas or sabkhas, separate the dunes
