Rub Al-Khali
Also known as The Empty Quarter, Rub Al-Khali is one of the world’s largest deserts, covering nearly 650,000 sq. km, mostly in Saudi Arabia, with dunes reaching 250 meters. A recent study has revealed that Rub Al-Khali was once much more hospitable, with a big lake emerging during the “Green Arabia” period, from 11,000 to 5,500 years ago. About 6,000 years ago, a sharp decline in rainfall resulted in arid conditions that forced nomadic populations to migrate to more hospitable areas.
