LiDAR and elevation data for Saudi Arabia
None known No LiDAR was found after a genuine search of national, regional and international sources.
No national or regional airborne LiDAR programme with openly licensed data, and no openly licensed DEM at 5 m or finer, was identified for Saudi Arabia in the national mapping agency, open-data portals or OpenTopography during the October 2026 review. Global DEMs such as Copernicus GLO-30 remain the practical elevation source. A 1.6 m SPOT stereo DSM of the Wadi al-Akhdar graben is on OpenTopography under CC BY 4.0.
