The Empty Quarter, also known as Rub' al Khali, is a vast desert that spans four countries: Saudi Arabia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. The Arabic name Rub' al Khali means "empty quarter". The desert is known for its huge dunes that reach up to 300 meters in height. The Empty Quarter is a popular destination for adventurous travelers who want to experience a real natural wonder. There are many guided tours available, such as the Empty Quarter 'Rub Al Khali' Day Tour - 4X4 Safari Adventure. The tour includes a drive towards the desert and the settlement of Ubar, which is believed to be swelled by the desert. Other activities include searching for small geodes that are scattered around the valley in Dhofar Jarziz, sandboarding, dune bashing, quad biking, camel, and horse riding. Overnight stays in Bedouin tents are also available.
