Although much of the Arabian Peninsula consists of vast regions of nearly flat plateaus and plains (pediments) covered by an irregular veneer of weathered rock, sand, and gravel, that are interrupted by hills (inselbergs), there are also sand seas which consist of large areas of wind-blown sand, the most famous of which is the Ar Rub al Khali, the Empty Quarter.
