    I think these Arabian oryx would feel homey there:

    I know that Alentejo means "Além do Tejo" Beyound the Tagus, it was a mistake, I was thinking of Iberian regions started with "Al" and the first two that came to my mind were Alentejo and Algarve....

    I was teached this way in School, to associate toponyms with the prefix "Al" with the Arabic occupation and influence in History classes.
