Saudi Arabia - a Paradise within Desert

 

But Saudi Arabia is surprising in a lot of ways. Like any place, or any people, it relentlessly defies easy categorization. – Dave Eggers

Saudi Arabia is known as Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). It is the largest state in Western Asia. Sometimes it is called “the land of Two Holy Mosques” that are Masjid-al-Haram (in Mecca) and Masjid-an-Nabawi (in Madina).

It is the only nation with both a Red Sea coast and a Persian Gulf coast. Saudi Arabia is the world largest oil exporter as well as regional power.
