Is this a wartime area? if so
I would say surveillance towers. Hasn't anyone thought that yet. I would also say the beveled edge of the building would be to deflect incoming projectiles. the angle of the sides suggests that any bullet or projectile not precisely fired would be deflected above where the guards are stationed. the oddity of the sides might also suggest that they thinly covered by some sort of material to aid in either the deflection of projectiles or the strengthening of the sides to prevent penetration by some of the kinetic projectiles available.
My vote goes to linked surveillance towers.
That is a place that i would want to be if I was in a firefight on that terrain. They have a very military look to them.
surveillance is key and i wouldn't be surprised at all if those domes weren't self contained Surveillance MI's closely networked and linked under the sand.

I had a look on Google Earth and used Street View, the "Dome" is pretty flat.
I also had elevation at the max of 3 and it was still flat.
I went all around it from every direction up and down and sideways and it was still flat.

My opinion is that its just a house in the desert. The central hexagonal part is the house, it is only 41 metres across from side to side, so about 160m2 about the size of a 4 b4droom home.
The reason it looks like a dome is because of the spiral shape of the driveway.
And its only a driveway, not a road, has trees each side.
And the "metallic" part? its water
Those "grid lines" are bulldozed " roads", some have sand spilling over onto them. You also get those in the outback of Australia too.
To the NW near the edge of the grid, you can see other houses on elevated sand platforms, braqnching off from the fields of .... date palms??? olive trees????
