Jiddat al-Harasis (Jiddat-il-Harasiis) is a stony desert in south-central Oman, separating northern Oman from Dhufar.[1] The largest strewn field of meteorites in the country is situated here.[2] Over 160 bird species, including the endangered houbara bustard, are found here, as well as Arabian oryx and Arabian gazelle.[1] The area was not permanently inhabited until the 19th century with the arrival of the Harasis.[3]
