Description
Saudi Arabia, officially the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), is a country in Western Asia. Its largest and capital city is Riyadh, and the country is home to Mecca and Medina, the two holiest cities in Islam.
The area of modern-day Saudi Arabia formerly consisted of mainly four distinct historical regions: Hejaz, Najd, and parts of Eastern Arabia (Al-Ahsa) and Southern Arabia ('Asir). The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was founded in 1932 by King Abdulaziz (known as Ibn Saud in the West). He united the four regions into a single state through a series of conquests beginning in 1902 with the capture of Riyadh, the ancestral home of his family, the House of Saud. Saudi Arabia has since been an absolute monarchy.
