The Rub' al Khali, also known as the "Empty Quarter," is one of the largest sand desert regions in the world, spanning parts of Saudi Arabia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. Covering approximately 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) long and 500 kilometers (310 miles) wide, it is characterized by vast stretches of sand dunes, some reaching heights of up to 250 meters (820 feet). The region is known for its extreme aridity, with very little rainfall and harsh living conditions, making it one of the most inhospitable environments on Earth. Despite its harshness, it plays a significant role in the ecology and geology of the Arabian Peninsula.
