Unless it’s rocky outcrops you’re wanting - so assume dunes are the default, limiting sight and movement and the rocky ground breaks it up

Lawrence crossed Duney bits to get to Aqabar, and the LRDG did as well.

And add in heat haze and wind, visibility is 'variable'.

One good use for a sand table I suppose

Anybody gaming 'trip to Aqabar' needs dunes.
Nobody gaming 'Battle of Aqabar' needs dunes.
