Endless expanses of orange dunes and geometric rock formations across Algeria and Libya.
The Nile River
A narrow green ribbon of life carving through the desert, best seen near Luxor.

The striking transition from the African continent to the Arabian Peninsula.
Empty Quarter
The vast, undulating dunes of the Rub' al Khali as you traverse Saudi Arabia.
