Well, I am in the Rub al-khali. Did you know it is the biggest all-sand desert in the world? Well I should tell you about my surroundings and geological features. Well for starters, there is a lot of sand and sand dunes. There is also a lot of dry lakebeds. Wierd huh? I also see mirages of pools that once dwelled long ago. I also don't see a lot of vegetation. Also when I look around I see bones of Camels that the dunes have devoured. I am also starting to see the Kidan Fields, and other oil reserves. I asked the people who mine the oil how much the oil is worth nowadays, but they just kept on working. I also didn't know I was walking into other countries.
I also met some Bedouin, a muslim desert wondering group of former or groups of nomads. I talked with them and they replied by saying, "It's hard to live here. Especially with little to rain in a couple years. My ancestors died here. The oil prices? Eh, We don't know." They gave me useful surviving tips when traveling around for a long time in the Rub al-khali. Never use water unless you need it. Don't eat your food fast or it won't last. When you see mirages, don't get tempted. The sand dunes say more than "I'm just sand". It scared me at first, but then they told me that it is not scary and are not joking.
When I started to hit the cities I can't visit yet, I knew I was going in the wrong direction. So I went in a different direction. Oh, you're probably wondering what my goal is. Well I start in the UAE, go to the country of Oman, then to Yeman, then to one of Saudi Arabia's capitals, Riyadh, then to Qatar, then to Bahrain then sail by ship to Kuwait, then if you look on a map and find Kuwait I am going to go south-west all the way back to the UAE.
