Empty Quarter or Rub' al-Khali in Saudi Arabia
26 Aug 2001, Saudi Arabia --- Image of the Empty Quarter or Rub' al-Khali, on the Arabian Peninsula in Saudi Arabia, captured by the Enhanced Thematic Mapper on NASA's Landsat 7 satellite. The area shown resides in southeastern Saudi Arabia, midway between the United Arab Emirates to the north and Oman in the south. Parallel rows of salmon-pink and white alternate to create a rippling pattern. White salt flats, known as sebkhas or sabkhas, separate the dunes. --- Image by © NASA/Corbis
