History
Main article: History of Saudi ArabiaThe Saudi state began in central Arabia in about 1750. A local ruler, Muhammad bin Saud, joined forces with an Islamic reformer, Muhammad Abd Al-Wahhab, to create a new political entity. Over the next 150 years, the fortunes of the Saud family rose and fell several times as Saudi rulers contended with Egypt, the Ottoman Empire, and other Arabian families for control on the peninsula. The modern Saudi state was founded by the late King Abdul Aziz Al-Saud (known internationally as Abdul al-Aziz Ibn Saud).
In 1902 Abdul al-Aziz Ibn Saud captured Riyadh, the Al-Saud dynasty's ancestral capital, from the rival Al-Rashid family. Continuing his conquests, Abdul Aziz subdued Al-Hasa, the rest of Nejd, and the Hijaz between 1913 and 1926. On January 8, 1926 Abdul-Aziz ibn Saud became the King of Hejaz and renamed it Saudi Arabia. The Treaty of Jedda was signed on May 20, 1927 making Saudi Arabia independent of the United Kingdom. In 1932, these regions were unified as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The discovery of oil on March 3, 1938 transformed the country.
Politics
Main article: Politics of Saudi ArabiaThe central institution of Saudi Arabian Government is the monarchy. The Basic Law adopted in 1992 declared that Saudi Arabia is a monarchy ruled by the sons and grandsons of King Abd Al Aziz Al Saud, and that the Holy Qur'an is the constitution of the country, which is governed on the basis of Islamic law (Shari'a). There are no recognized political parties or national elections. The king's powers are theoretically limited within the bounds of Shari'a and other Saudi traditions. He also must retain a consensus of the Saudi royal family, religious leaders (ulema), and other important elements in Saudi society. The state's ideology is the Wahhabism. This flavour of Islam is tried to spread further by funding build of mosques and Qur'an schools around the world. The leading members of the royal family choose the king from among themselves with the subsequent approval of the ulema.
Provinces
Main article: Provinces of Saudi ArabiaSaudi Arabia is divided into 13 provinces (mintaqat, singular - mintaqah).

Geography
Main article: Geography of Saudi ArabiaThe kingdom occupies 80 percent of the Arabian Peninsula. Most of the country's boundaries with the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Yemen are undefined, so the exact size of the country remains unknown. The Saudi government estimate is 2,217,949 square kilometers. Other reputable estimates vary between 2,149,690 square kilometers and 2,240,000 square kilometers. Less than 1 percent of the total area is suitable for cultivation, and in the early 1990s population distribution varied greatly among the towns of the eastern and western coastal areas, the densely populated interior oases, and the vast, almost empty deserts.
The climate is harsh, dry desert with great extremes of temperature and the terrain is mostly uninhabited, sandy desert.
Economy
Main article: Economy of Saudi ArabiaSaudi Arabia has an oil-based economy with strong government controls over major economic activities. Saudi Arabia is first in the world to in proven reserves of petroleum (24% of the proved total), ranks as the largest exporter of petroleum, and plays a leading role in OPEC. The petroleum sector accounts for roughly 75% of budget revenues, 40% of GDP, and 90% of export earnings. About 35% of GDP comes from the private sector. Saudi Arabia was a key player in the successful efforts of OPEC and other oil producing countries to raise the price of oil in 1999 to its highest level since the Gulf War by reducing production. Although oil prices are expected to remain relatively high in 2000, Riyadh expects to have a $7.5 billion budget deficit in part because of increased spending for education and other social problems. The government in 1999 announced plans to begin privatizing the electricity companies, which follows the ongoing privatization of the telecommunications company. The government is expected to continue calling for private sector growth to lessen the kingdom's dependence on oil and increase employment opportunities for the swelling Saudi population. Shortages of water and rapid population growth will constrain government efforts to increase self-sufficiency in agricultural products.

Saudi Arabian Airlines is Saudi Arabia's domestic and international airline, and one of the largest airlines of the Middle East.
Saudi Arabian Airlines Boeing 777.
Larger version
Saudi Arabian Airlines began when, in 1945, President Roosevelt presented Abdul Aziz with a Douglas DC-3 after their meeting at the Suez Canal. This DC-3 was used to carry passengers and cargo.
In 1946, Saudi Arabian Airlines was established. It was considered an operating agency of the Ministry of Defense. That same year, their first airport was established in Kandara, near what now is known as Jeddah.
During the rest of the 1940s Saudi Arabian expanded, serving new cities (Cairo, Damascus and Beirut), providing a Haj Pilgrimage service flown from Lydda in British Palestine, and purchasing two more DC-3s. Saudi Arabian also received substantial logistical and mechanical help from American airline TWA, and in 1949, the first of five Bristol 170s was received. These planes allowed Saudi Arabian to carry both passenger and cargo on the same flights.
The slow but steady growth continued during the 1950s, and services were inaugurated to Istanbul, Karachi, Amman, Kuwait City, Asmara and Port Sudan. The fleet also saw a small growth during the 1950s, with five DC-4s and ten Convair 340s arriving. The CV340 was Saudi Arabian's first pressurised-cabin airplane. In 1959, the airline's first maintenance centre was inaugurated in Jeddah. Also during this decade, the very important shuttle route between Jeddah and Riyadh was established.
The 1960s became a very important decade for Saudi Arabian Airlines. In 1961, the airline bought two Boeing 720s, these jets were delivered in 1962. Thus Saudi Arabian made history by becoming the first Middle Eastern airline company to fly jets. On February 19, 1963, the airline became a registered company, with King Faizad signing the papers that declared Saudi Arabian a fully independent company. DC-6s and Boeing 707s were later bought, the airline joined the Arab Air Carriers Organization, or AACO, and services were started to Sharjah, Tehran, Khartoum, Dubai, Bombay, Tunis, Rabat, Tripoli, Frankfurt, Geneva, and London.
The 1970s brought many changes for Saudi Arabian. A new livery was introduced, the name was changed from Saudi Arabian Airlines to "Saudia", and Boeing 737 and Boeing 747 equipment began use. The 737s replaced the DC-9s. The first all-cargo flights between Saudi Arabia and Europe were also started, and Lockheed L-1011s and Fairchild F-27js were introduced. New services, including the Arabian Express no reservation shuttle flights system for the Jeddah to Riyadh route, and the Special Flight Services (SFS), were founded. Special Flight Services is still a service the airline offers for government-related and celebrity flights. Rome, Paris, Muscat, Kano, and Stockholm were inaugurated as Saudi Arabian Airlines cities.
Saudi Arabian suffered the first of two major air tragedies in 1980. Shortly after takeoff from Riyadh, a Lockheed L-1011's passengers and crew smelled smoke. The pilots were granted permission for an emergency return to the airport, fearing the quick flare-up of a cabin fire. After landing safely, the passengers panicked, madly rushing to the plane's emergency exits before they could be fully deployed. In the chaos, the doors could not be opened before smoke and fire completely filled the fuselage, killing all on board.
Some new non-route-related services opened during this decade for the airline, such as Saudia Catering. Flights were started to Bangkok, Dhaka, Mogadishu, Nairobi, New York (Saudi Arabian's flights to New York are the only flights in the world covering 4 continents: it begins in Asia, passing by Africa and Europe, before landing in North America), Madrid, Singapore, Manila, New Delhi, Islamabad, Seoul, Baghdad, Amsterdam, Colombo, Nice, Lahore,Brussels, Dakar, Kuala Lumpur, and Taipei. Horizon Class, a business class service, was established between Jeddah and Cairo, and cargo hubs were built in Brussels and Taipei. Airbus A300s, Fokker F-28s, and Cessna Citations were also added to the fleet, the Citations for the SFS service.
To finish the decade, services were introduced in 1989 to Larcana and Addis Ababa.
The 1990s brought Saudi Arabian's second tragedy: a 747 collided with a Kazakhstan Airlines jet after take off from India, leaving all the occupants in both jets dead, in the worst air collision in history. Saudi Arabian was not at fault.
Service was introduced to Orlando, Madras, Tokyo, Asmara, Washington D.C, Johannesburg, Alexandria, Athens, Milan, Malaga, and Sanaa.
Boeing 777s, McDonell Douglas MD-90s and MD-11s were introduced, smoking was banned on certain flights to Muslim countries as well as on all domestic flights, and new stewardess uniforms designed by Adnan Akbar were introduced.During the first decade of the 2000s, the airline changed its livery again, and its name back from "Saudia" to "Saudi Arabian Airlines". In addition, Prince Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud signed papers to conduct studies that could eventually lead to the airline's privatisation.
Other facts of interest
- In the middle 1990s, a DC-3 that used to fly for Saudi Arabian was re-decorated in the airline's early livery and flown back to Saudi Arabia.
- Although Saudi Arabian Airlines had nothing to do with the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, many of the hijackers of that day, including Mohammed Atta, were supposedly studying to obtain pilot licenses at Saudi Arabian Airlines.
- Since 1998, Saudi Arabian Airlines is the official sponsor of the Malwan Art exhibition, in Saidon, Lebanon.
