Climate
Most of the Arab League falls in the driest region of the world, as almost 80% of the Arab world is covered in desert, stretching from Mauritania and Morocco to Oman and UAE. The second most common terrain is the semi-arid Terrain, also found in all Arab countries except Lebanon and Comoros.
The moderate Mediterranean climate has the highest population density in the Arab World, with most of its 350 million citizen living within this region.
Only two terrains do not span the Arab League, the Tropical wet and Dry climate in Southern Sudan and Southern Somalia, and the Tropical wet climate in Comoros Islands.
Several deserts span the Arab League:
- Ad-Dahna Desert
- Arabian Desert
- Bayuda Desert
- Eastern Desert
- Danakil Desert
- Libyan Desert
- Naqab Desert
- Nefud Desert
- Nubian Desert
- Rub' al Khali Desert
- the Great Sahara Desert
- Syrian Desert
- Tihamah Desert
- White Desert

Famous quotes containing the word climate:
“A tree is beautiful, but what’s more, it has a right to life; like water, the sun and the stars, it is essential. Life on earth is inconceivable without trees. Forests create climate, climate influences peoples’ character, and so on and so forth. There can be neither civilization nor happiness if forests crash down under the axe, if the climate is harsh and severe, if people are also harsh and severe.... What a terrible future!”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“The question of place and climate is most closely related to the question of nutrition. Nobody is free to live everywhere; and whoever has to solve great problems that challenge all his strength actually has a very restricted choice in this matter. The influence of climate on our metabolism, its retardation, its acceleration, goes so far that a mistaken choice of place and climate can not only estrange a man from his task but can actually keep it from him: he never gets to see it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The climate of Ohio is perfect, considered as the home of an ideal republican people. Climate has much to do with national character.... A climate which permits labor out-of-doors every month in the year and which requires industry to secure comfort—to provide food, shelter, clothing, fuel, etc.—is the very climate which secures the highest civilization.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
