The Mahazat as-Sayd Protected Area is a 220,000 ha large protected area in central Saudi Arabia. The reserve is now dominated by grasslands, which are a reminder of what most of the Arabian peninsula may have looked once.

Mahazat as-Sayd is one of the few places where the Arabian oryx has been reintroduced. In addition the reem gazelle and red-necked ostrich have been reintroduced in the reserve.
