The Rub al- Khali Desert is known as The Empty Quarter and is one of the largest deserts in the world with the largest sand dunes. The desert covers over 650.000 square kilometers. The desert is 1000 kilometers long and 500 kilometers wide. The Rub al- Khali Desert means “the Empty Place”. Few plants and animals can survive here and there’s barley any water. Barley any one lives here since the desert is mainly sand and not much living thing. As I got near to the desert I could see the high sand dunes that where as big as some of the building from Des Moines. I wish I could come back some day to learn more about the Empty quarter a really harsh and dry desert really lonely and one of the loneliest that you would find in the world.
