We arrived at the Empty Quarter thinking we'd see animals or plants but it turns out that there was nothin but sand dunes even though there's 650,000 square kilometres of land. We called Abraham to come help us get out of this place. When he picked us up, we asked him why it was so quiet and there aren't any snakes or scorpian in this desert. "The Empty Quarter is different from other deserts because it doesn't rain here,but a problem we have is desertification." We found out that there were sand foxes & desert hares that adapt to the hot & dry conditions and they don't need too much water; instead they live off rodents & bugs. We were bored so we had an idea to get some sleds and slide down the sides of the sand dunes. "Weeeeeee!!" We had a blast! We went on top of a sand dune about 4 times higher then the average house! :D We noticed that the dunes all looked different because of the direction the wind was blowing and how strong the wind was. At the end of the day there, we were worn out from all the sledding. So we decided to move on to our next destination.
