So do all the watersheds that don't go to the seas just end in salten lakes?

Also, what's up with the areas with parallel lines? Open desert?

The parallel lines are likely flood plains. I.e the water just spreads across open ground.

They're in Yemen so I doubt the flooding happens much

Flood plains don't need water to be flood plains. Its more of a topological feature.

Also, Yemen does seem to have serious flash floods every few years 2025, 2024, 2020 and 2008 had big floods.
