The Syrian Desert (Arabic: بادية الشام Bādiyat Ash-Shām), also known as the North Arabian Desert,[1] the Jordanian steppe, or the Badiya,[2] is a region of desert, semi-desert and steppe covering 500,000 square kilometers (200,000 square miles) of the Middle East, including parts of southern Syria, eastern Jordan, northern Saudi Arabia, and western Iraq. It accounts for 85% of the land area of Jordan[3] and 55% of Syria.[4] To the south it borders and merges into the Arabian Desert.[5] The land is open, rocky or gravelly desert pavement, cut with occasional wadis.[6][7][8][1]
