OVERVIEW
Saudi Arabia borders Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, the Gulf of Oman, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Yemen. The Red Sea lies to the west.
Riyadh is the royal capital. It is a modern city built on the original town (only the fort and a few traditional Najdi palaces near Deera Square remain of it). The west coast is a trading centre and concentrates many Islamic holy cities, including Mecca and Medina.
The city of Jeddah, until recently Saudi Arabia's diplomatic capital, remains the most important commercial and cultural gateway to the country. The ancient city of Jeddah has been tried to be preserved but more and more modern leisure facilities have been incorporated
Mecca is the spiritual centre of the Islamic world. Significant places for the Muslims include the Kaabah Enclosure and the House of Abdullah Bin Abdul Muttalib, where Muhammad was born.
Saudi Arabian people are mainly Muslim and their official language is Arabic. Saudi Arabia has an arid climate. The country's currency is the Saudi Riyal.
Some tips to take into account when visiting Saudi Arabia: US driving permits are accepted, the electricity runs on 127/220 Volts and the country code is 966.
