The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the largest country on the Arabian Peninsula. It is the home of Mecca and Medina, the two holiest places in Islam. Much of the country has a desert climate. Precipitation averages less than a few inches per year, and temperatures often reach well above 100dgF. Despite its parched landscape, Saudi Arabia is a key provider of an essential commodity. Just four years after Ibn Saud unified Saudi Arabia in 1932, the country’s first productive oil well was established. Since that time, Saudi Arabia has become the world’s leading petroleum producer and exporter. Saudi Arabia was thrust into the spotlight by the controversial decision to allow Western nations to use the country to deploy their forces during the First Gulf War in 1991. Tensions continue to increase today, as the Islamist terror group al Qaeda remains intent on destroying the House of Saud and its Western allies. Book jacket.
