there also a few of thoose a bit away from the main nil valley & delta in egypt, as an exemple of pairing this kind of area with/along a main canal

(see this also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Center_for_Agricultural_Research_in_the_Dry_Areas , there aslo a lot of report from various organism regarding repercussion and all, public and/or private, with various clear or unclear affiliation, so some of the reports you can find easily around the net should be take with caution regarding the investors/builders redistribution aspect it could be sometime a bit shady or truncated in parrallel with fauna, flora, local population long term real benefit depending the reports)

The Saudi installation was impressive. It looked like regular circular watering systems however the circle in one kilometer in diameter.

yup yup (& seel also near tabuk a bit sout west), just a rough estimation on sight , but the superficie covered seem approximately equal or not far to "rhode island" state superficie in the US 

thoose kind of installation and related set up in the desert are pretty interesting observed from google earth, and eventually once spotted search for the related tech documents

(koweit as well seem to have some interesting terraformed area, and sure thing Nil, borders and delta are freakin' impressive when observed from mid zoom)
