Most people associate Atlantis with a sunken city or continent that is long gone and hidden beneath the waters. However, Arabia has its own legend of a lost city, the so-called “Atlantis of the Sands“, which has been the source of debate among a number of historians, archaeologists and explorers. Perhaps Ubar is in Rub’ al-Khali, “The Empty Quarter”, but “archaeologists remain divided on whether it is indeed the ‘Atlantis of the Sands.’ Many have changed their opinion and now claim that Habarut, across the border in Yemen, could be the site of Ubar.”
