@thefactori: The Rubʿ al-Khali: The largest Area of Continuous Sand In The World The Ar Rub’ al Khali, also called the “Empty Quarter,” is a large region of sand dunes and interdune flats known as a sand sea or erg. 🏜️ The Empty Quarter covers much of the south-central portion of the Arabian Peninsula, and with an area of approximately 660,000 square kilometers, it is the largest continuous sand desert on Earth. 🐫 The Empty Quarter was so named because the hyperarid climate and difficulty of travel through the dunes has long discouraged permanent settlement within the region. #factoftheday #TheFactori #facts #fact #interestingfacts #funnyfacts #naturefacts #naturesbeauty #historyfacts #historicalfacts #historyinthemaking #AnimalFacts #scientificfacts #factstime #factsdaily #factsyoudidntknow #mindblowingfacts #desert #desertlife #rubalkhali #rubalkhalidesert #emptyquarter
