Along the road are houses seemingly in impossible places – sand sand sand. But the government provides land to anyone who wants a spot. citizens build their own houses. government provides water. The Sultan is good here.

At the desert’s edge.

At the Bedouin Camp 20kil into the sand we stop. While they have modified their existence, they do raise goats and camels and live on this giant farm of sand.
