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.
