Saudi Arabia is a sovereign state in West Asia that makes up most of the Arabian Peninsula. It is a desert, known as the birth place of Islam and the burial site for the prophet Muhammad. It’s a popular touring spot for Muslims since it holds the two holiest places in Islam, Al-Masjid al-Haram in Mecca and Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina. Public displays of non-Muslim worship are banned and the worship of non-Wahhabi Muslim religions are restricted. For the most part, non-Muslims are not allowed to visit Saudi Arabia. Petroleum was discovered in 1938, and since then Saudi Arabia has become the world’s largest producer and exporter of oil, with the second largest oil reserve. Saudi Arabia has attracted criticism for its treatment of women and use of capital punishment. In Saudi Arabia, women aren’t allowed to drive and they need permission from a male guardian if they want to work, travel, go to school or open a bank account. Women could vote for the first time in December 2015.

  2. I think that what you posted was very reasonable. However, consider this, what if you were
    to write a killer headline? I ain’t suggesting your information is not solid, but suppose you added something that grabbed a person’s
    attention? I mean Saudi Arabia Basics – Bryanna Vs The World is kinda vanilla.
    You ought to look at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create
    news headlines to grab viewers to open the links. You
    might add a video or a related picture or two
    to get readers excited about everything’ve written. In my
    opinion, it would bring your blog a little bit more
    interesting.
