The Rub al-Khali Desert!(:

Our first stop on our trip through the Middle East was the Rub al-Khali Desert. We explored many things such as geography, animal life, and plant life. Here are some of the things we learned on our trip.

While exploring the Rub al-Khali, We discovered many interesting things. We found out that The Rub al-Khali is the world's largest all sand desert. It is located on the southern half of the Arabian Peninsula, where it covers 25,000 miles of land. The huge desert covers up one third of Saudi Arabia, and extends into both Yemen&Oman.

As we were exploring the Rub al-Khali, the temperature was so hot it was almost impossible to battle the terrain. We noticed how hard it must have been for the people who inhibited this area thousands of years ago. Our caravan leader told us that the first people to inhibit the area were the Nomadic Bedouins. They set up many travel routes on the outskirts of the Rub al-Khali.

We learned many things on our trip through the desert, like what it would take to live there, and even what the first inibitors of the land were like. Hope we learn even more on our next trip!
