Location & Geography Saudi Arabia belongs to Asian continent and occupies about 80% of the Arabian Peninsula. Because the country's southern borders with the United Arab Emirates and Oman are not precisely defined, the exact size of the country remains unknown. The CIA World Factbook's lists Saudi Arabia as the world's 13th largest state. Saudi Arabia's geography is dominated by the Arabian Desert and associated semi-desert and shrubland. It is, in fact, a number of linked deserts and includes Rub' al Khali ("Empty Quarter") in the southern part of the country, the world's largest contiguous sand desert. There are virtually no rivers or lakes in the country, but wadis are numerous. The few fertile areas are to be found in the alluvial deposits in wadis, basins, and oases. Language The official language of Saudi Arabia is Arabic. The three main regional variants spoken by Saudis are Hejazi Arabic, Nejdi Arabic and Gulf Arabic. The large expatriate communities also speak their own languages, the most numerous being Tagalog, Rohingya, Urdu and Egyptian Arabic.
