Saudi Sand Dunes
Saudi Sand Dunes Chris Hadfield on Twitter

Canadian astronaut and expedition commander Chris Hadfield shared this photo from the International Space Station today. He thought it looked like "mouthwatering generous folds of icing"; to me, it looked more like a slice of walnut-studded cake. It's actually a photo of sand dunes in Saudi Arabia.

definitely sand dunes. From the color and pattern i would have to guess either An-Nafud or arabian desert
