southern part of a 280 km (170 miles) long field of sickle-dunes (from Tarfaya in the north)
"dra" / draa seems to be a wrong naming: the Draa dunes are very high dunes with stable combs (Erg).
"Barchan" is the Turkmen name for sickle-dune. The opening of the crescent pointing show in the direction of the wind flow.
