Rub al-Khali Desert


When we were here is was hot, and very large. The Rub al-Khali Desert is one of the largest sand deserts in the world.
It is 250,000 sq. miles. The temperatures can get us high as 114 degrees F. When we tried to climb a sand dune we estimated that it was 1,100 ft in the air. Another name for it is The Empty Quarter.
