It shares borders with Jordan and Iraq to the north, Kuwait to the northeast, Qatar, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates to the east, Oman to the southeast, and Yemen to the south. Unique in its geography, Saudi Arabia is the only nation with coastlines on both the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, and much of its landscape is dominated by inhospitable desert. Historically, the territory that constitutes modern-day Saudi Arabia was divided into four distinct regions: Hejaz, Najd, Eastern Arabia (Al-Hasa), and Southern Arabia ('Asir). The modern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was established in 1932 by the late King Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud. Often referred to as "the Land of the Two Holy Mosques," the country is home to Al-Masjid al-Haram in Mecca and Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina, the two holiest sites in Islam. The Kingdom's population totals 28.7 million, including 20 million Saudi nationals and 8 million expatriates. As the world's leading oil producer and exporter, Saudi Arabia controls the second-largest hydrocarbon reserves globally. This wealth in energy resources supports its classification as a high-income economy, making it the only Arab nation included in the G-20 major economies. Additionally, Saudi Arabia is an active member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy, with the King serving as both the head of state and government. The current monarch is King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. The royal family wields significant influence, and the country's governance is based on Islamic law (Sharia). The capital city, Riyadh, is the political and administrative center of the nation. In addition to its vast oil reserves, Saudi Arabia is investing heavily in diversifying its economy through the Vision 2030 initiative, which aims to reduce the country's dependence on oil and develop other sectors such as tourism, entertainment, and technology. The Kingdom is home to several megaprojects, including the NEOM city project, which is envisioned as a futuristic, sustainable urban area. Saudi Arabia boasts advanced infrastructure, with modern highways, airports, and seaports facilitating trade and travel. The King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah and King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh are major hubs for international and domestic flights. The country is also developing a high-speed rail network to enhance connectivity between major cities. Saudi Arabia places a strong emphasis on education and has numerous universities and colleges, including King Saud University, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology. The government provides free education to Saudi nationals at all levels, and there is a growing focus on research and development. The healthcare system in Saudi Arabia is well-developed, with numerous public and private hospitals and clinics offering high-quality medical services. The Ministry of Health oversees the healthcare sector, ensuring that citizens have access to essential health services. The country is also working on expanding its medical infrastructure to meet the needs of a growing population. Saudi Arabian culture is deeply rooted in Islamic traditions and values. The Kingdom's cultural heritage is showcased through its numerous museums, cultural festivals, and historical sites. The annual Janadriyah National Festival of Heritage and Culture is a significant event that celebrates the country's rich cultural history. Saudi society is characterized by its strong sense of community and family values. Hospitality is a notable aspect of Saudi culture, with visitors often welcomed with great warmth and generosity. The Arabic language is the official language, and Islam is the state religion, with the majority of Saudis adhering to Sunni Islam. While Saudi Arabia has traditionally been known for religious tourism, with millions of Muslims visiting Mecca and Medina for Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages, the country is expanding its tourism sector to attract international visitors. The Red Sea coast offers stunning beaches and coral reefs, making it a popular destination for diving and snorkeling. The UNESCO World Heritage sites of Al-Ula and Diriyah showcase the Kingdom's ancient history and archaeological treasures. The Empty Quarter (Rub' al Khali), the world's largest continuous sand desert, offers a unique adventure experience for tourists seeking to explore the vast, uninhabited desert landscape. The Asir region, with its cool highlands and lush vegetation, provides a stark contrast to the arid deserts and is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts. Saudi Arabia is taking significant steps towards environmental sustainability. The Saudi Green Initiative aims to combat climate change by increasing the Kingdom's reliance on renewable energy sources, reducing carbon emissions, and enhancing biodiversity. The initiative includes plans to plant millions of trees across the country to combat desertification and improve air quality. The Kingdom is rapidly becoming a hub for sports and entertainment, hosting various international events such as the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and the Dakar Rally. The Saudi Pro League has attracted global attention, with several high-profile football players joining local clubs. The General Entertainment Authority is spearheading efforts to develop the entertainment industry, with numerous concerts, festivals, and recreational activities being organized across the country. In recent years, Saudi Arabia has made significant strides in promoting women's rights and empowerment. Women now have the right to drive, participate in elections, and work in various sectors previously restricted to men. The government is committed to increasing female participation in the workforce and providing equal opportunities for women in education and business. Saudi Arabia is a nation of contrasts, where ancient traditions coexist with modern advancements. Its strategic vision for the future, coupled with its rich cultural heritage and economic prowess, positions it as a key player on the global stage.
