About Saudi Arabia

Geography and Climate

Saudi Arabia occupies the majority of the Arabian Peninsula in Southwest Asia, bordered by Jordan, Iraq, and Kuwait to the north; Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman to the east and southeast; and Yemen to the south. It is flanked by the Red Sea on the west and the Arabian Gulf on the east. The country’s landscape is dominated by vast deserts, including the Rub’ al Khali (Empty Quarter)—the largest continuous sand desert in the world—as well as rocky plateaus, wadis (dry riverbeds), and mountain ranges such as the Hijaz and Asir along the western coast. The southwestern region around Abha and Taif enjoys milder temperatures and higher rainfall, while the central and northern areas, including Riyadh, experience extreme heat in summer and cooler winters. Saudi Arabia’s climate is predominantly desert, characterized by long, dry, and hot summers, with occasional rainfall mainly in the western highlands and coastal areas.

Brief History and Government

Officially known as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), the country was unified in 1932 by King Abdulaziz Al Saud, bringing together the regions of Hejaz, Najd, and other territories under one monarchy. Since then, the Al Saud family has ruled the kingdom. Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy, with the King serving as both head of state and head of government. The Qur’an and Sharia (Islamic law) form the basis of its legal and governance systems. The capital city is Riyadh, while Makkah (Mecca) and Madinah (Medina) are the two holiest cities in Islam, hosting millions of pilgrims annually for Hajj and Umrah. In recent decades, the country has undertaken major reforms under Vision 2030, an initiative aimed at diversifying the economy, empowering youth and women, and developing sectors beyond oil.

Population, Language, and Culture

Saudi Arabia has a population of approximately 36 million (2024 estimate). The majority are Saudi nationals, while about one-third are expatriate workers from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The official language is Arabic, and English is widely used in business and education. Saudi culture is deeply rooted in Islamic traditions and Arabian heritage, emphasizing hospitality, family values, and respect for customs. Traditional clothing such as the thobe and abaya, and practices like serving Arabic coffee (gahwa) reflect the kingdom’s cultural identity. The arts, music, and entertainment sectors are expanding rapidly under cultural modernization efforts, and national celebrations such as Saudi National Day (September 23) highlight unity and national pride. Saudi cuisine features dishes like kabsa, mutabbaq, and dates, often enjoyed communally.

Economy and Currency

Saudi Arabia has one of the largest and most influential economies in the Middle East. The economy is primarily driven by oil and gas, with the kingdom holding some of the world’s largest proven petroleum reserves and being the leading exporter of crude oil. The state-owned company Saudi Aramco plays a central role in global energy markets. However, under Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia is actively diversifying into renewable energy, tourism, mining, logistics, and technology. The Public Investment Fund (PIF) spearheads large-scale development projects such as NEOM, The Red Sea Project, and Qiddiya. Agriculture, construction, and services also contribute to GDP. The official currency is the Saudi riyal (SAR), pegged to the U.S. dollar at approximately 3.75 SAR per USD, and issued by the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA).

The Postal Code System

The national postal authority is Saudi Post (SPL – Saudi Post Logistics). Saudi Arabia uses a five-digit postal code system, introduced to modernize and organize mail delivery nationwide. Each postal code corresponds to a specific geographic area, where:

* The first digit represents the region,

* The second digit indicates the sector,

* The third digit identifies the branch,

* The fourth and fifth digits specify the individual area or delivery point.

For example:

* 11411 – Riyadh (Central District)

* 21955 – Makkah

* 31952 – Dammam

A standard address format in Saudi Arabia is structured as follows:

```

Recipient Name

Street Name, Building Number

District, City Postal Code

SAUDI ARABIA

```

Example:

Saudi Post, King Fahd Road, Olaya District, Riyadh 11411, Saudi Arabia

Saudi Post provides comprehensive services including domestic and international mail, express shipping (EMS), e-commerce logistics, and government document delivery through platforms like Wasel and Najm. The postal code system is now fully integrated with the National Address System, which assigns every building in the kingdom a unique geocoded address for precise deliveries, supporting both postal operations and digital infrastructure under Vision 2030.
