Description from Kristine S: The Rub al Khali (or Empty Quarter) is the largest sand desert in the world and a day-trip from where I live in Saudi. The colors of the Arabian desert range from ochre to deep reds, the greens of occasional desert plants and the endless blue sky meeting the topography of the dunes.
