Learn about the country's history, culture, people and much more!Founded in 1932, Saudi Arabia is a relatively young nation compared to most other countries. However, its rich oil resources have given it a major role in the events of the 20th and 21st centuries.

They will also learn about the country's rich culture, explore its cities and towns, and find out what life is like for the Saudi people today. The complex text in this title allows the reader to explore unique features of the country and determine how key details support the main idea of the text.
