I believe that I found these in Egypt, but I am not 100% sure. Some times I get lost looking for cool places and end up in random places!

    That is in Saudi Arabia. Not that far from the border with Jordan.

    GPS 30.0095403, 38.3257591

    Those are mostly alfalfa fields that Saudi decided to use a fossil aquifer to water. Their wells are running dry and which is why there is so many abandoned fields. These are areas they don’t have enough water. It’s mixed in with date palms now as well.

        It’s a very distinctive area from the pictures. It also helps that I have been there.

        1:10 do not recommend a visit - too hot, no booze, mediocre food, and everyone smokes way too much. The oppressive culture isn’t that great either.

      You need to explain why you’re putting three spaces between sentences.
