Drive through Desert |Saudi Arabia | Travel vlog

Do you know ,30% of the land in Saudi Arabia is covered by sandy-deserts. Although the desert of Saudi Arabia is more or less continuous, extending from North to South, the Nafud in the north and the Rub-al-Khali in the south are the largest among all. Other sand bodies, such as the crescent-shaped Dahna situated in the Najd Area and the Al-Jafurah on the Eastern region are relatively smaller in size. Rub-al-Khali occupies an area of about 650,000 sq. km with sparse vegetation. Sand dunes in this desert often reach a height of about 250 m, especially on the eastern side of the country. Rainfall is almost nil in this desert. Yet sporadic rains measuring about 35 mm/year are reported in some years. Vegetation composed of diffuse shrubs. Annual plants are virtually nil in this desert. Rub-al-Khali or the 'Empty Quarter' is believed to be the largest continuous sand body in the world and supports the life of at least a few endemic plants such as Calligonum crinitum spp. arabicum, Tribulus macropterus var. arabicus (Tribulus arabicus), Cornulaca arabica, etc.
