These storms can start in the Sahara and come up from the south via Egypt and Sinai or over the Mediteranean, moving inland from west to east.

The dust is apparently very beneficial for the ground soil.

"A beginning is a very delicate time. Know then that it is the year 10191. The known universe is ruled by the Padisha-Emperor Shaddam IV. - my father. In this time, the most precious substance is the spice-melange. The spice exists on only one planet in the entire universe, a desolate dry planet with vast desert. The planet is Arrakis, also known as- DUNE."

Very bad movie. Very impressive (but unusual) book(s).
