SAUDI
ARABIA Saudi
Arabia,
officially Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, kingdom (1995 est. pop. 18,730,000),
829,995 sq mi (2,149,690 sq km), SW Asia, occupying most of the Arabian
peninsula, bounded by Jordan, Iraq, and Kuwait (N), the Persian Gulf,
Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (E), Yemen and Oman (S), and the Red
Sea (W). Riyadh is the capital, Jidda the principal port. Saudi Arabia has
five major physical regions: the great Rub al-Khali, a sand desert
occupying the entire south and southeast; the Nejd, a vast, barren plateau
in the center; the Hejaz and Asir, along the Red Sea, with mountains
rising from an arid coastal plain; and the Eastern Province, along the
Persian Gulf, site of the country's rich oil resources. The climate is
usually hot and dry, although the humidity along the coasts is high. Saudi
Arabia has at least one quarter of the world's oil reserves, and the oil
industry dominates the economy. Huge revenues from oil exports have been
used to diversify the industrial base; metals, chemicals, plastics,
cement, and fertilizer are now produced. Irrigation projects have
reclaimed many acres of desert, and grains, dates, citrus fruits, and
vegetables are grown. Nomadic Bedouins raise camels, sheep, goats, and
horses. Income is also derived from Muslim pilgrims who travel from all
parts of the world to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. The
overwhelming majority of the population are Arabs who adhere to the
Wahhabi sect of Islam, but 27% of the population consists of resident
foreigners. Arabic is the official language. History ********
