An Introduction to the Kingdom

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) sits in Western Asia, bordered by the Red Sea to the West, Jordan, Iraq and Kuwait to the North, the Arabian Peninsula, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates to the East, and Oman and Yemen to the South.

The Kingdom is the 13th largest country in the world, and the largest country in the Middle East; spanning nearly 2.15 million square kilometers.

Saudi Arabia is roughly the size of Western Europe—larger than Mexico and roughly equivalent to the size of Greenland.

Saudi Arabia is also the largest country in the world without a river that runs through it, with 95% of the country is considered desert.

There are 13 regions in Saudi Arabia, with 19 cities of populations over 100,000 inhabitants.

Its Red Sea coastline stretches over 1,760 km, while its Arabian Sea coastline stretches 560 km.
