ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Rub Al Khali, referred to as the Empty Quarter, is the world’s largest continuous sand desert with uninterrupted sand dunes. The whole desert covers more than 650’000 km2 and stretches over the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Yemen.

These ever-changing endless dunes are sculpted by the wind and form shapes of eternal beauty. While sun, glow and the wind are shielding one’s view over day, they paint the slopes and peaks through light into a beauty of golden blues and reds. In this empty quarter, I met great hospitality of people with long traditions and captured this dune shapes in 2018.
