View of a grove of palm trees at a Liwa oasis. In the foreground a few tufts of qassis (sedge) grow along the top of a low sand ridge. Below the ridge young date palms, likely cultivated by local Bani Yas villagers, grow in a line along the salt flat amongst scattered salt bushes. In the far distance palms and salt bushes grow thickly along the bottom of a steep dune on the far left and scattered across the salt flat.
