About this listen
Tonight we are drifting into the Rub al Khali, the Empty Quarter Desert, one of the largest seas of sand on Earth. In calm, sleepy detail we explore what surviving here is actually like, from water and navigation to heat, wind, and the quiet logistics of moving through dunes that never stop shifting.
Along the way, we zoom out into the geography that builds this extreme environment, the dune fields, gravel plains, salt flats, and the geology beneath the sand. Expect soft spoken, no stress storytelling about desert landscapes, arid climate, and the forces that shape the Arabian Peninsula, perfect for sleep, relaxation, or background listening.
