When we hear anybody say Saudi Arabia, we think hot, dry dessert!
Some of us will also think oil, money and tall buildings!
Well, there is a lot in Saudi Arabia that meets the eye; beautiful Bedouin desserts, hospitable people and two of the most sacred holy places for the Muslim world; Mecca and the Medina.
Saudi Arabia’s main cities of Riyadh and Jeddah have shopping malls for everybody, great for shopping and spending the time. There are also fast food restaurants to please all tastes.
The Asir Mountains near the Yemeni border are nicknamed "The Garden of Saudi Arabia" are relatively high in altitude and ensures a warm temperate climate, suitable for growing crops such as bananas & figs.
There are also lots of undiscovered places like the desert caves and oasis, which make a perfect adventure destination.

I'm from Saudi Arabia and in the past few years, everybody became interested in learning about ny country and its culture, as well as the people who are known for being generous and hospitable. I live in Riyadh which is a big city with two well known skyscrapers, Faysaliya and Kingdom with the latter as the tallest in the Middle East. That was very kind of you Waleg to post a topic on K.S.A.
It is really hard to post about a big country like Saudi it is the holy land of Islam and muslims and there is no doubt that this country has really chaged so fast in few years to be one of the biggest countries in the middle east. on of the most intersting cities in that country the industrail scocity of Jubail in the east coast of the kingdome and Yanbu in the west coast.Those two cities has really changed the mode of arab people from consumers to poroductives most of the europain and estern countries now they find that the quality of those products meets the international standers most of the arab world now taking advantge of this products many big companies with thaosands of man power workers most are saudies this smart trend will change this country from only oil exporter to industry socity that can't depend onothers any more
it really sounds interesting and i know it is such a beautiful place im hoping i can go visit sometime...
Saudi arabia has many wonderfull sights and places all over the kingdom.
A lot culters with similar traditions, different accents as well, if u go to the west u will find people speak like the khaleeg and iraq,, if u go to the north u will find people speak a very similar accent to the one in south of jordan, if u go the west u will find people in the hejaz speak very similarly like egyptions because they use to rule the hejaz. if u go the the south , thier accent is very similar to yemeni peopl and so on.
Saudi is a country of great history, many scientists and authors and writters came out of this country. Saudi is not great because of its islamic history only, its also famous for its true arabic history that u can read most of it in books .
Anyway my point is wat ever i say about this country, i will still feel i havent said anything, it is the largest country in the middle east, the thrid largest in the arab world (after algeria and sudan).
Ofcourse we cant forget its famous kings and celebritys that made a sign in the world. like king faisal (who spoke 7 languages) he was killed, he was murdered by american agents, why ?? because he stopped oil production.
Saudi is a home of 240 000 palestinas refugees, who live peacefully in saudi with equal rights, its also a home of many arabic countries like egypt and syria and so on.
Al hamdo lil allah saudi is improving economically and in everything else as well. We are gradually begging to be dependant on our selves, so we dont really need foreigners from asia to help us any more in most of the things. Why ? because saudis are now docotros, teachers, physians, technicians , etc.
Anyway as i've said before, wat ever i say bout this great country i wont be able to finish , i can take days, u can see how long this text is and i still ddnt finish.
Thank you very much WALEG for making an article about Arabia.
I love Arabia.
Home of prophet mohammed (PBUH)
Saudi Arabia is an excellent country; words alone can't express how great it is. Many members of my family have been there, and their impressions of it are all excellent.
Saudia Arabia is the country where ever muslim man originally coome from its the place for spreading islam which is also pece as islam comes from the word peace.Actually S.A is a great country it has a very very kind people.offcoarse i will always keep good things a5ir shai,,,,,,,,again S.A is all educated well the government gets good care of there sha3ab,saudia arabia likes to help other countries like Kuwait in the war 2/august/1991 and kuwaitii ppl will never 4get what s.a did plus (other countries like egypt,U.A.E,Syria etc. sorry 4 not mentioning your country) outside inside Arabs stereotypes are kind,9abooreen,a9eeleen,helpfull and allah ideem hal ma7aba ameen.
Translation: may god make the beloving peace spread and continue in Arab countries and Muslim contz. I know that i crossed the border about talking abt s.a but as you know i am an arabic muslim and i proud of what i am.So ever arab build up your self esteem and have the confidece that you surely get of pride and love that is all abt muslim arab ppl if i started talking abt this i wont stop...........FOREVER
Back to my topic Saudia Arabia is built in a unique way with humbled kings,money iss not there point there point is to make money to s.a,Governments in Saudia Arabia takes a good deal to control imports,export and growing domestic republic(GDP).As well as hospitals,schools,payment all the government handle so its not easy to do that but i think s.a is smart to do that.No need to have champaign or beer or wine or liquior to make the countrey rise up you can raise the country with your belief and realigion and to please god not to pleese ppl that visit saudia arabia.
the most beatifull and markable place was Makkah and Madina the places of spreading islAM(MA6IN OF ISLAM)Therefor millins muslims visit s.a arabia to do there obligatiry duties which is haj (who can afoord it) and Omra you can visit it anytime during the year.
