Prior to the discovery of oil in the 1930s, Saudi Arabia was nothing more than a poor desert country.
![Page 12: Saudi Arabia](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062808/5681552f550346895dc30976/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The discovery of oil brought about a new lifestyle to Saudi Arabia. They acquired new wealth, better education, better technology, and new friends around the world.

What is oil?
The oil that we use today was formed
millions of years ago when tiny plants and
animals died and sank to the bottom of a
shallow body of water.

New wealth, same traditions…
Saudi Arabia has struggled to keep their culture while modernizing and advancing at the same time.
![Page 23: Saudi Arabia](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062808/5681552f550346895dc30976/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
There is a lot of westernization with a twist. Look closely at the signs!
![Page 24: Saudi Arabia](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062808/5681552f550346895dc30976/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
You’ll find two sections in restaurants: The family section, and
the single male section. Why is there no single woman section?
Single male section
![Page 25: Saudi Arabia](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062808/5681552f550346895dc30976/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Because… Women can’t be in public without a male relative escort. Men and women are kept very separated in Saudi Arabia.
![Page 27: Saudi Arabia](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062808/5681552f550346895dc30976/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

So, if boys and girls are always kept separate, how do they date?
They don’t. Marriages are arranged by families.
![Page 30: Saudi Arabia](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062808/5681552f550346895dc30976/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What about travelers? Do they have to follow all the same rules?
Well… You can’t just visit Saudi Arabia. You must have permission from the King and good reason. But just like someone visiting our country, they’d have to follow our laws while here.
![Page 31: Saudi Arabia](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062808/5681552f550346895dc30976/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
During prayer time…
Be prepared to wait around for a while, because everything shuts down for 20 to 30 minutes five times a day for prayer. Mosques are everywhere, so you will always hear the muzzein standing atop the mosque call everyone to prayer five times a day no matter where you are. Foreigners are not forced to pray, but outward practice of any other religion is strictly forbidden!
![Page 32: Saudi Arabia](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062808/5681552f550346895dc30976/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
If you do visit Saudi Arabia:Western women don’t have to wear the abaya or the hijab, but if you’re stopped by the religious police and asked to, YOU BETTER JUST DO IT!

Religious Police?!?!?!Who are they?
![Page 34: Saudi Arabia](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062808/5681552f550346895dc30976/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
One way to keep the culture is the Mutaween (religious police). There are regular police to keep the law, and religious police to watch that people are following Saudi’s idea of Sharia (religious law). Strict punishments are enforced if not…

Aramco
Many Americans live in Saudi Arabia who work for the oil company Aramco. However, they live in private compounds, where behind those gates, they can live their American lifestyles.
![Page 43: Saudi Arabia](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062808/5681552f550346895dc30976/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Their schools are coed just like in the U.S. and they can dress just as they please. However, once they leave the compound, all Saudi laws apply.
![Page 44: Saudi Arabia](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062808/5681552f550346895dc30976/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
What if you want to visit Mecca?You’ll only get in if you’re a Muslim. How do they know? Before entering the gates of Mecca you will be asked to recite a random Sura from the Qu’ran. Muslims who go as far as to make the Hajj, will be able to do it.
![Page 45: Saudi Arabia](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062808/5681552f550346895dc30976/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Many Muslim children who don’t speak a word of Arabic, are taught to memorize the entire Qur’an in Arabic. It doesn’t translate well in English, and is actually meant to be sung, not read.

Saudi Arabia got rich FAST, so it’s still trying to blend the old and the new.
And modernize as well
Keep the traditional culture
