Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is a country located in the Middle East, occupying most of the Arabian Peninsula. It is bordered by Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Yemen, and has coastlines along the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf. The official name of the country is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and its capital is Riyadh. Saudi Arabia is known for its vast deserts, rich oil reserves, and being the birthplace of Islam, hosting its two holiest cities, Mecca and Medina. The country is an absolute monarchy, with the King serving as both the head of state and government. Saudi Arabia plays a significant role in global politics and economics, primarily due to its influence in the oil market and its position as a member of the G20 and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The country has been making efforts to diversify its economy through its Vision 2030 initiative, which aims to reduce dependency on oil and develop other sectors such as tourism and entertainment.
