Isn't one of the issues that the sand in the deserts isn't the right kind?
Yes, sand in the desert and beaches is "too old", in other words, it's too smooth and can't hold material together. That's why Dubai is importing huge amounts of sand while being literally a city in the desert.
Dubai needs to stop it.
So all we need to do to increase our supply is to rough up some sand?
