Rub al-Khali Desert

Journey through the Middle East

Day 1-Rub al-Khali Desert

Today we are heading over to the Rub al-Khali Desert, the largest desert in the world. We will be crossing through Saudi Arabia to get to it. I've checked the weather today and conditions will be perfect today; Since we are here in the middle of February, the temperature is 25 degrees Celsius!

We're here! I took a few pictures of the sand dunes as we entered.

You can see them get taller as we go further into the desert!

Here's a little slideshow I put together for you to see!

We've arrived to a good place to set up camp with plenty of resources, near a camp of nomads! We offered them to join us for dinner whenever they felt like it. They politely turned down the offer. Tonight we're going to roast hotdogs over a fire, my favorite!

Tomorrow we'll head on out to the Syrian Desert, more sand!
