unique way of living, and they became closely<br />

connected to the land, whether during the<br />

rain and fertility season or in times of drought<br />

and scorching heat. Such a connection<br />

helped create substantially solid family and<br />

social ties within the <strong>Saudi</strong> Arabian society,<br />

an important way of life that still continues<br />

today.<br />

cities, abundance of sporting activities and<br />

treasured historical sites are among other<br />
