Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Arabian Desert is bordered to the north by the Syrian Desert, to the northeast and east by the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, to the southeast and south by the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden, and to the west by the Red Sea. A large part of the Arabian Desert lies within the modern kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Arabian Desert (Arabic: ) is a vast desert wilderness in Western Asia that occupies almost the entire Arabian Peninsula. It stretches from Yemen to the Persian Gulf and Oman to Jordan and Iraq.

Detailed explanation-3: -The wind can go up to 30 miles per hour and cause massive sandstorms that alter the sand dunes. The Indian Summer Monsoon Keeps the Arabian Peninsula Hot and Dry: The Arabian Desert is so hot and dry in part because of how the Indian summer monsoon season affects regional weather patterns.

Detailed explanation-4: -Saudi Arabia is characterized by a desert climate, with the exception of the southwestern part of the country, which exhibits a semi-arid climate. Summers in the central region are extremely hot and dry, ranging from 27°C to 43°C in the inland areas and 27°C to 38°C in coastal areas.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Arabian Desert spreads across 22° of latitude, from 12° to 34° north; although much of the desert lies north of the Tropic of Cancer, it usually is considered a tropical desert. Summer heat is intense, reaching temperatures as high as 130 °F (55 °C) in places. In the interior the heat is dry.
