The land (desert) rises into hills and mountains in the west and southwest, along the edges of the Red Sea. Mountain ranges include the Hejaz in the northwest, and the Azir in the southwest.

Saudi Arabia’s highest point is Jabal Sawda’ which peaks at 10,279 ft. (3,133 m). It has been marked on the map by a yellow upright triangle.
