Before answering the question, it is worth noting that the given translation of Rob3 al-Khali (ربع الخالي) in the question is incorrect. It properly translates to "the Empty Quarter", not "the Place Where No One Comes Out". Admittedly, the thrust of the question is the same, so it does not make a huge difference, but it was worth mentioning.
The reason why the Rob3 al-Khali is called the "Empty Quarter" is because it is a part of the Arabian desert that is so dry and devoid of oases that it is impossible to live there (without modern long-distance pipes and Plumbing). As a result, no one lives there and those who go there are considered to be a lost cause.
