This is when I reluctantly switch the direction of my blog towards other countries of the Middle East and away from Egypt. And I've decided to start with Saudi Arabia because I lived there for about two years.
Saudi Arabia is one of the richest countries in the Middle East. It has the world's largest oil reserves, so that must explain a lot. It currently has a very stable economy, however, a few years down the road when all their oil is gone, they're going to be in a very tough situation. Let's hope by then their economy will be built on other sectors such as tourism and industry and away from oil and natural gas.
I lived in Saudi Arabia for about two years and I don't remember a single thing. This is sort of unfortunate because my parents constantly tell me that I've been to Mecca and made Um-rah. And to a Muslim, this is a very big thing. However, I thank God for allowing me to live there, even if I don't consciously remember anything, I have memories locked away in my subconscious.
I lived in the capital of the country, Riyadh. Currently, Riyadh is a very rich city in the Middle East that has an enormous role in the economy of the country. Nowadays, Riyadh also has many of the wealthy Saudis with their "Arab Money" and fancy multi-million dollar cars. A large number of millionaires live in Saudi Arabia; and the average standard of life in the country truly reflects the countries' wealth.
