3. Describe any two cities in Saudi Arabia
Answers
Answer:
Burge AL Arab and Dubai
RIYADH
Riyadh, which lies in the Central Region, is the capital city of Saudi Arabia and now rivals any modern city in the world in the splendor of its architecture. Broad highways sweep through the city, passing over or under each other in an impressive and still growing road network. Today the city extends for some 600 square miles (1600 square kilometers) and has a population of more than 5.8 million. The name Riyadh is derived from the Arabic word meaning a place of gardens and trees (“rawdah”). Riyadh is the most obvious and accessible to the foreign visitors.
DHAHRAN
Dhahran is located 6 miles (10 km) west of Khobar. Dhahran, with Dammam and Al Khobar, forms the Dammam Area. Dhahran was the site of the headquarters of what was Aramco (the Arabian American Oil Company). For obvious reasons, it is also the site of the King Fahd Petroleum and Minerals University. Dhahran is served by one of the Kingdom’s three international airports, a construction of outstanding architectural beauty which combines traditional Islamic design with the most modern building technology.
