  • ... a type of desert landscape made up of largely barren, hard, rocky plateaus, with very little sand. A hamada may sometimes also be called a reg, though this more properly refers to a stony plain rather than a highland.

    Hamadas exist in contrast to ergs, which are large areas of shifting sand dunes.
