Geography The country is surrounded by narrow coastal plains to the west and south, and by the Empty Quarter desert to the north, in central south east there are the Mahra mountains (up to an elevation of 1300 m). Situated in west is the Tihamah, a narrow semidesert coastal plain along the Red Sea, the Tihama is part of the Arabian Peninsula coastal fog desert ecoregion which stretches further along the southern coast of the country. The country's interior is dominated by mountains ranging from a few hundred meters up to the country’s highest point, Jabal an Nabi Shuayb (3,666 m; 12,028 ft). The mountains can be separated into the western highlands with relatively fertile soil and sufficient rainfall, and the central highland, more like a plateau of about 2,000-3,200 meters, with rolling hills, small knolls, and some very prominent peaks. The central highlands are drier than the western highlands because of rain-shadow influences, but still receives sufficient rain in wet years for extensive cropping. Yemen has no permanent rivers. The highland regions are interspersed with wadis, or river valleys, that run dry in the summer months. Notable is the Wadi Hadhramaut (Hadramawt) in southern central Yemen, the upper parts of which contain alluvial soil and floodwaters and the lower part of which is barren and largely uninhabited. Most of the northern part of the country is covered by the "Empty Quarter" (Ar Rub' al Khali), one of the largest sand deserts in the world, encompassing most of the southern third of the Arabian Peninsula. Ramlat al-Sab`atayn is a desert region in central Yemen. Ramlat Dahm is a desert region in north west, part of the "Empty Quarter".
