The Empty Quarter

Another view of the Empty Quarter. Najran City is way off in the sandy distance, situated on the edge of this enormous desert.

A more desolate looking capture of the Empty Quarter posted earlier today along with an explanation of it and the gallery:

It does look like a long drive through desolate land to that city. Love the point of view and depth in this scenic. V.

the surprising feature is that dry watercourse in the centre….water must occasionally course, though you would not otherwise think it ever did

Aptly named, but I suspect that Saudi Arabia could be called The Empty Most Of It.
