Does this article have the craziest name, or what?
All respects to biologists, but this article is stuffed with the kind of self-important jargon that makes me roll my eyes.

I couldn't agree more with the two previous comments.....someone write something else, stick a picture in, something!!!

This article is... bizarre. Compare with
Mojave desert,
Sahara desert and others. Somebody, anybody, please The greatest natural resource of the Arabian Desert is its underground water supply, which—as it remains virtually unreplenished because of low rainfall—in effect consists of Pleistocene-age waters that are now being tapped. Modern techniques have been used by the governments of Arab countries to develop water sources and to irrigate soils for farmingrewrite this ASAP.

Anyone have heartclench if I move this page to
Arabian Desert to make it more consistent with other pages on deserts? Especially considering that the East Sahero-Arabian xeric shrublands aren't talked about anywhere in the article.

I went ahead and made the move as well as restoring a basic description and ecological information from a previous version so it makes at least a little sense. It still needs alot of help though.

"Arabian desert" (or Eastern Desert which redirects here) also refers to the desert between the Nile and t
he Red Sea, but that isn't described The greatest natural resource of the Arabian Desert is its underground wate

Quote: "This ecoregion holds little biodiversity, although a few endemic plants grow here."
Somebody's a self-important twit... it's not that hard to understand, but there wasn't any need for the huge words that continue throughout the article.

Wow this article is completely wrong. the Arabian Desert is on the east coast of egypt. Next to the Nile river and above the Nubian Desert.

Origin
Where did all that sand come from? Was this once the bottom of an ocean?

People
The article says:
The area is home to several different people, languages and cultures,
This is very interesting to me, being someone that is actually from the region; other than Arabic people, Arabic language and Arabic culture, who else considers this home? --

Citations, please, on extinctions
I'd like to see citations to the extinct state of jackals and striped hyenas in the Arabian Desert. I have seen jackals on the Tuwayk Plateau and their tracks in the Rub Al-Khali, and hyenas as far north as the eastern Syrian Desert. I realize that this can only be considered anecdotal, but I also know that the statement in the article is not accurate.

Ecology and natural resources
Someone familiar with the topic please fix (at least) this line: "Very little trees may be found except at the outer margin". Does this mean "few trees" or that the trees found outside "the outer margin" are stunted or naturally tiny? Technically it means the latter, but I fear the writers meant to say trees are sparse "except at the outer margin".

Fifth largest or fourth largest?
The statement "It is the fifth largest desert in the world" contradicts the page
List of deserts by area, which lists the Arabian desert as the fourth largest in the world.
