Syrian desert

          The Syrian Desert (arabic  بادية الشام bādiyat ash-shām‎) is a combination of steppe and true desert that is located in the northern Arabian Peninsula covering 200,000 square miles (over 500,000 square kilometers). 
          The desert is very rocky and flat. The desert's remarkable landscape was formed by lava flows from the volcanic region of the Jebel Druze ( جبل الدروز) in southern Syria. In the desert are the ruins of ancient city of Palmyra (مملكة تدمر). The Syrian Desert is the origin of the Syrian hamster.
