This ecoregion is the largest on the Arabian Peninsula.
It is a vast desert wilderness stretching from Yemen to the Persian Gulf and Oman to Jordan and Iraq. It is one of the continuous bodies of sand in the world. Gazelles, oryx, sand cats, and spiny-tailed lizards are just some of the desert-adapted species survive in this extreme environment, which features everything from red dunes to deadly quicksand. The climate is extremely dry, and temperatures oscillate between extreme heat and seasonal nighttime freezes.

This ecoregion holds little biodiversity, although a few endemic plants grow here. Many species, such as the striped hyaena, jackal and honey badger have become extinct in this area due to hunting, human encroachment and habitat destruction . Other species have been successfully re-introduced, such as the endangered white oryx and the sand gazelle, and are protected at a number of reserves. Overgrazing by livestock, off-road driving, human destruction of habitat are the main threats to this desert ecoregion.
