Today we are traveling in the Rub al-Khali Desert. It is currently 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Even though it is very hot and dry here the sites are very beautiful. Walking through this desert by foot is a lot of hard work but it is worth every minute of it. We are glad that we didn't come during the summer, because if we did, it could have been up to 131-140 degrees Fahrenheit. Yesterday when we were exploring the desert also we were lucky that we brought extra water because we saw a dehydrated girl that passed out in the sand dunes. We stayed with her for a while and we walked with her to an oasis where she could recover and start again when she felt better. We are planning to explore till sun down and then we will set up our tent and get straight to bed so we could explore more tomorrow.Got to explore some more.
Keep reading and we will keep posting.
