  1. “Arabic speaking” is probably a better term.

    Edit: tired of all this down voting for just an opinion. So we just agree or we have to stop commenting?

    before anyone asks, the definition of desert here is based on annual precipitation, not actual deserted land/biome. thats why a lot of them might seem lower than expected because some desert areas might get more than the average rain for a typical desert.

  3. Thankfully there is a man who has a great idea of putting large pipes, pump water from the sea, desalinate it
    and create vast arable terrain, make the area green and friendly

    Oh, they killed him

    Judaen desert bro. I get that you wanted to include palestine as an arab country, but 0 percentage just means you havent done research.

  5. Having done a fair bit of travel around Morocco, I’d actually say this is even *higher* than expected, rather than the lower, that a lot of people have mentioned. So much Moroccan tourism comes in through Marrakesh, and from that, it would be easy to believe that the country is an incredibly hot, incredibly dry desert. However the north and centre of the country are nothing like that. Rabat, Casablanca, Tangier, Fez etc. have southern European style climates, with lots of sun, but a decent amount of rain. I was also surprised by the amount of mountain ranges, which I’m sure makes a massive difference in the rainfall. I was in Ifrane in February and it legitimately looks like a (albeit dated) resort in the Alps. Toubkal in the south also causes a lot of rain.

  6. Like how most are rounded to five ppercent and then there’s 42% just randomly. Also no color scaling or anything, who made this?
