Syrian Desert

SYRIAN DESERT OR SYRO-ARABIAN DESERT
After our trip from Mount Ararat our guide Abraham took us to the beautiful Syrian Desert that is also known as Syro-Arabian Desert. I dont know about my friends but I did not have a great time there because it was hot and sandy for miles and miles all you could see was sand. I asked our guide Abraham how much precipitation does the Syrian Desert get? And Abraham said that the desert only gets about 5 .85 inches. He also mentioned that its border on the east is the Euphrates. We learned that the desert has a combonation of steppe and true desert and it is located in the Northern Arabian Penninsula. Many oases exsist in the Syrian Deserts such as the Palmyra.
Landscape was formed by lava flows from the volcanic region of the Jebel Druze in Southern Syria.
