It is the largest area of continuous sand in the world.
The desert is 1,000 kilometres long, and about 500 kilometres, and its topography is varied.
Parallel rows of salmon-pink and white alternate to create a rippling pattern.
White salt flats, known as sebkhas or sabkhas, separate the dunes.
This is likely the result of wind pattern interactions and of changes in the sand supply.
