Taking account of the English spelling, try "shay hay raa zaad"

I think Annie Haslam pronounces it correctly. It's just that she sings sheh-hehr-a-zaaaaaaaaaaaaahd

By the way, I love Rimsky Korsakov's interpretation as well. Good one, Opera Guy.

ask an Arab; he will give you the correct pronunciation with a lot of guttural consonants. try the same for yourself, and you will wind up with a severe laryngitis

True. The Arab speaking people pronounce "Sahara" also completely different than we do. (Well, "we"? Maybe there are some Arab speaking prog fans on PA as well).

That's the way Annie sings it, so I'll go with that pronunciation.
