Saudi Arabia is a monarch that is a birthplace of Islam and two holiest Islam shrines in Mecca and Medina. It has really hot and dry weather like other middle east countries. Most of the land is made out of dry sandy terrain, which causes the great extremeties in temperature. Even though Saudi Arabia is one of the few allies of United States, there are some groups of people who hate americans and westerners in general. Some terrorist groups may target western tourists, and spots that tourists go often. Last January, two american tourists have been shot and injured in Hofuf in Alhasa Governorate. So I had to make sure everythings was safe and good for me and people around me.
Since 2005, the Arabian kingdom has modernized drastically over a decade. Not only they started building modern skyscrapers, but also societal wise. The government offers more opportunites to women like suffrage, and running for the election, attracts more foreign investment, and increases a role of private sectors in the economy.
