Map of countries without rivers

There are currently 18 countries and 22 territories that do not have a permanent natural river flowing within them, though some of them have streams or seasonal watercourses such as wadis.[1]

The Arabian Peninsula is the largest subregion in the world without any permanent natural river. Countries in this subregion have wadis instead.
