Random Sand Fact
The United Arab Emirates has vast sand deserts. Yet the country still needs to import large quantities of sand.
Desert sand is often more rounded and finer than sand that works best in concrete. The shape and size of the grains affect how the sand behaves in the mix.
Bringing sand to the desert sounds almost absurd. Until you look more closely at the grains.
