Explorers Spent Centuries Hunting the ‘Atlantis of the Sands.’ A Film Crew May Have Found It.

Known as the “Atlantis of the Sands,” explorers spent centuries hoping to discover the once-wealthy metropolis. In the 1990s, famous explorers claimed that they’d found Ubar, but questions remain. Somewhere beneath the dunes of the Arabian Desert—or so the legend goes—lies a city that God himself destroyed. All were on the hunt for this Atlantis of the Sands, but they all came up empty. But if there’s an Ubar to find, it may still sit among the sands of the Empty Quarter.
