Chains of Star Dunes, Omani Border

Aerial view of chains of star dunes near Omani border with three cars trying to ‘vein’ dunes are formed by strong winds, primarily from the ESE, which blow orange-colored sand into long ridges across the salt flats or subkha. Here the Uruq dunes take the form of a chain of individual star dunes, a rare and poorly understood phenomenon.
