The name "Arabian oryx" comes from the Middle East region where it is found (Arabian Peninsula) and the Greek word "oryx" which means a type of antelope. This elegant and iconic animal is known for its distinctive long, straight horns and white coat.
Antelopes that resemble an oryx include the sable antelope and the gemsbok, which is actually a species of oryx itself. Both have long, straight horns and a similar body shape, characterized by a robust frame and a striking color pattern. The sable antelope typically has a dark brown coat with white facial markings, while the gemsbok features a more distinct contrast between its tan body and black and white facial stripes. These features contribute to their resemblance to the oryx family.

Arabian Oryx prefer to range in gravel desert or hard sand where the speed and endurance will protect them from most predators, as well as most hunters on foot. In the sand deserts in Saudi Arabia, the Arabian Oryx used to be found in the hard sand areas of the flats between the softer dunes and ridges.
