Name | Nafud al-'Urayq |
| Country | Saudi Arabia |
| Description | With an area approximately (2036.1 square kilometers), Nafudal-'Urayq is one of the smaller sand seas in the central Najd region of Saudi Arabia, a narrow dune corridor running north/south. The dunes are generally low, rising to a maximum of approximately 100 meters above the surrounding pedeplain. They are mostly well vegetated although some of the south-facing slopes are bare of vegetation. The predominant plant community in the southern part of Al-'Urayq is composed of HaloxylonSalicornicum (Arabic Rimth) with scattered Calligonumcomosum (Arabic Arta). Management objectives are to maintain the ecosystem without degradation of its biological diversity and productivity; to conserve and restore the populations of threatened species and other key taxa; to safeguard the site's natural processes and the ecosystem services they generate, to restore degraded habitats, to enable the local communities to benefit through sustainable use of renewable natural resources, and to provide opportunities for scientific research, environmental education, sustainable nature-based recreation and ecotourism. |

Name | Oasis de Moghrar et Tiout |
| Country | Algeria |
| Description | Comprises the two Oases Moghrar (Foukani and Tahtani) and the Oasis Tiout at about 1000m altitude, connected by the upper reaches of the Oued Namous and ringed by the southern flank of the Ksour mountains at about 1700m. With the site's typically dry saharan climate, the oases support family agriculture, mainly the cultivation of date palms and vegetables at different levels of terraces; (feggous) and (Aghrass) are the date palms of excellent quality that are of conservation interest. The existence of the fouggaras, an 11th century or earlier system of water capture and distribution, is characteristic of the region and qualifies the site as a Ramsar wetland type Zk(c) -(Karst and other subterranean hydrological systems, human-made). Moghrar is ornithologically significant, with Common or Red Crossbill, woodpigeon, Blue Rock Thrush, among others. The area is known for its ancient rock art, a small prehistory museum, and its Ksar or (fortress), which was formerly the stronghold of the Sheik Bouamama, a key figure in the country's fight against colonialism. |

Name | Oasis de Ouled Said |
| Country | Algeria |
| Description | A rare human-made wetland created on the vestiges of a (fossil) wadi; over time, the diminution of the water in the wadi required the construction of a (fouggara), an ingenious system for the capture and distribution of groundwater. The water, distributed in little open-air channels within the tradition of an ancestral social organization, is shared out equitably to individual gardens for the cultivation of palms, mainly, with some cereals and fruits as well. The site is also important for migratory birds and includes important archaelogical remains of an original Arab/Muslim architecture of (Ksars) (fortresses) from the 14th century. The fouggara method in use at Ouled Saïd is said to be an outstanding illustration of the Ramsar wise use principle, but because the oasis requires constant human maintenance and is slowly but surely being overtaken by the sand, Algerian authorities have requested at the time of designation that the site be placed on the Montreux Record. |

Name | Oasis de Tamentit et Sid Ahmed Timmi |
| Country | Algeria |
| Description | A succession of several oases, each overlooked by an ancient Ksar (fortress) and associated village, with palm cultivation below. Residents practice the traditional method of distribution of water for irrigation by means of (fouggara), a human-made hydraulic system said to have originated in Persia and been introduced to the Maghreb during the Arab conquest of the 7th century. The site is classed as, among others, wetland type Zk(c), probably the first human-made subterranean hydrological system' in the Ramsar List. The isolation of the site and the hostile environmental conditions have favored the evolution of a very interesting biological diversity. Depletion of groundwater reserves, caused in part by increasing use of modern agricultural pump-irrigation and monoculture, is seen as a potential threat, as is continuous advance of the (ergs) or wind-driven sand dunes. There is some tourism, with pedestrian and camel-back tours of the Ksars and fouggara, and local crafts are in considerable demand. |

| Description | Located in the southwestern of Libya, near the Algerian border. Located on an ancient Saharan caravan route, it was a slave-trading centre and the object of European exploration in the 19th century. Ghat lies west of the Wadi Tanezzuft in hilly sandstone country, near the Jibal Mountains and the Tadrart plateau. |

Name | Oglat Edaira |
| Country | Algeria |
| Description | A seasonal, brackish lake fed by temporary rivers and surrounded by Tamarix, Juncus and Carex spp, the site is located in an arid, steppe area. It hosts two endemic, protected animal (Gazella gazella and Chlamydotis undulata) and plant species (Saccocalyx saturoides and Convolvus supinus), as well as numerous other mammal, reptile and bird species. The avifauna finds an important oasis in this area both during migration and for wintering, with some 19 species, including the Ruddy Shelduck, nesting at the site. The lake plays an important role in groundwater recharge and sediment trapping. It is also important in its educational role, as many school groups, as well as the general public, visit the site to learn about the importance and protection of wetlands in the steppe environment. Animal raising, especially sheep, is the main occupation of the local population, but this is causing erosion, over-abstraction of water, and deforestation in the area. Some counter-measures have included reforestation activities with fruit trees and windbreaks. A GEF/UNDP project is currently assisting in further conservation activities and in the elaboration of a management plan. |
