Do not be surprised if Ouch says the picture you see is located in Indonesia! This is not the Sahara desert but the Parangkusumo desert is located in Yogyakarta. We should be proud of you only because Indonesia is the only country in Southeast Asia that has a unique topography, the desert. Because the place in Indonesia is similar to the Sahara desert abroad, many dub the desert Parangkusumo as Sahara in Java.
