The Great Sand Sea

Covering an area the size of England, the Great Sand Sea’s majestically
sand dunes stretches from Siwa in the north to El Gelf El Kebir Plateau in the
south. Alien, inhospitable and mostly impassable, many have vanished and swallowed
by it’s shifting dunes; Bedouins, explorers, smugglers, and entire armies
(Cambyses 50.000 strong Persian army in 525 BC). The image shows the dune belts
stacked one behind the other and stretching for hundreds of kilometers.
