Ibn Hisham tells us that the area was controlled by the Bani Damra tribe, and that Muhammad made peace with them, and then returned to Medina without having a war.

Ibn Hisham Also, Wadi Araba is considered by many to be the origin of the tribes known as the Arabs, from Araba. The mountains have many ravines, and one of these might contain an old unmarked grave. It is a lot of might-have-beens… but it the description of the place seems to fit.

From the historical record it seems very unlikely that it was in Saudi Arabia. The location has been lost over time, because people were looking in the wrong place.
