information about historical background of the Arabian Desert. It shows that the
Arabian Peninsula was rich with rivers that connected together. Many sites have
been discovered such as Al Nafud desert in Saudi Arabia, Jebel Faya in UAE and
many others. The most ancient human site and the latest one was found in Sharjah,
which carried evidence about three different Paleolithic settlements from many
years ago. The archaeologists knew that African people crossed Bab Al Mandab
when they found stone tools near the Strait of Hormuz. The sites and theories provide
archaeologists with good evidences about human presence. There are many things
that changed the Arabian Desert to what it is nowadays. The change in climate conditions
