Sand Dunes

Dunes are only one of the many forms that wind and water create in the desert. The dunes in Arabian deserts can reach meters in height. Ceaseless winds in some areas of the desert make the dunes shift continuously thus transforming the area. The dunes take on different forms depending on the direction of the winds which ceaselessly shape them.

While the desert seems hostile and perilous to some, it is a home to other. Trekking through the deserts of Saudi Arabia, you may come across temporary settlements like this - Herds of camels or sheep, a truck to serve water, feed for the livestock and a shepherd.

This Bedouin we came across was of Sudanese origin.

The leader donkeys

Donkeys are generally found to be serving the shepherd and the herd. They always lead the herd and control their movement, surprisingly.

The herd is on the move, looking for new pastures.
