Najd is a historical region of the Arabian Peninsula that includes most of the central region of Saudi Arabia. It is roughly bounded by the Hejaz region to the west, the Nafud desert in al-Jawf to the north, the ad-Dahna Desert in al-Ahsa to the east, and the Rub' al-Khali to the south, though it lacks precise boundaries due to varying geographical and political limits throughout history.
Najd is a historical region in central Saudi Arabia that has served as a significant geographic and cultural area of the Arabian Peninsula. Its importance stems partly from its position and natural boundaries—marked by the Hejaz to the west, deserts to the north and east, and the Rub' al-Khali to the south—though its exact borders have shifted over time due to changing geography and politics.
