World Sands Collection
Es Sabria, Tunisia
Es Sabria (El Sabria) is a small village located at the north end of Sahara Desert.  Since this sand is very fine, this picture is made more enlargement than the others.  This is well-sorted, and it consists of mostly quartz.  The grains are about 0.1mm in diameter and well rounded.  This is typical desert dune sand as same as Ksar Ghielene's, but this is bright ocherous.
