Inland Sea
A photo essay of the dessert landscapes in Khor Al-Adaid area south-east Qatar
“This is the sense of the desert hills, that there is room enough and time enough.”
“The Khor Al-Adaid area, also known regionally as the Inland Sea, is located in the south-east of the State of Qatar. The area presents a remarkable landscape formed by a globally unique combination of geological and geomorphological features. They create a diverse scenery of exceptional, undeveloped natural beauty, in what remains predominantly a ‘wilderness area’. Each landscape unit on its own, notably the Arabian Gulf, large mobile dunes, the tidal embayment system, inland and coastal sabkha, recently discovered "salt hummocks", stony deserts, elevated mesas and rocky outcrops, as well as the transition between each of them, contribute to the unique character of Qatar's southern territory.” - UNESCO
