We chose the destinations from the names on the desert maps (maps_ksa@) and GeoNames: rawdahs and faydahs first, then the wadis, nafuds and khabras that have a greening record in satellite imagery. A name repeated in more than one region has a page for each region. A description of what the satellite detected, not a recommendation of a destination or a guarantee of its condition; the decision and its responsibility rest with you.
Place names are shown in Arabic as on the maps, with a Latin form: the known spelling where one exists (cities, reserves, regions and the best-known destinations), otherwise an automatic letter-by-letter transliteration marked *. Transliterations are approximate and may differ from local spellings; the Arabic name is the reference.
