A feature film exploring mystery and heritage in the Rub' al Khali.
Set against the vast expanse of the Empty Quarter, Echoes of the Dunes follows a young archaeologist who uncovers ancient inscriptions that challenge modern historical accounts. As night turns the desert into an ominous landscape, he must decipher the signals before the sand swallows the truth forever.
