actually, the rocks are "red" on the lybian coast, from the pictures i could find on the net at least, then further east, the coast becomes more flat in egypt's direction with white sandy beaches east of soloum, and about the sand, it has also the "pinkish" look but will also use the online desert textures for the all the aeras with more rocks than sand .
and no that is absolutely not final, far from to be, it's just an early alpha test
