Saudi Arabia is bordered by the following countries (clockwise from the north): Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Yemen.

James Joyce’s narrative “Araby”, contains many microcosmic ideals. The narrative describes, in relation to the Dublin, Ireland of the period, maturity, pubescence, and public life. A.R. Coulthard stated that “Araby” is not a tale a young person’s initiation into adulthood but a “… dramatization of a soul-shriveling Irish asceticism which renders hopes and dreams not only foolish, but sinful.”(97). Coulthard chooses to focus plainly on the religious aspect of the tale and forgo the classic example of a coming of age story.

For a land with such a long history of military conquests, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has a relatively short one. Strategic movements by the House of Saud in the 1800s started the birth of the Kingdom, and the military has quickly transformed from a tribal militia to a regional super-power. However, Saudi Arabia is not without its faults. In this paper, I will paint a brief picture of where the Saudi military originated from and how it evolved into its current state. I will then address significant issues with manpower in the Saudi armed forces, the most critical failure of their military
Saudi Arabia’s fear after the fall of Iran in 1979 is two-fold. In the South Eastern part of the country there was a large Shia population that they feared would take up arms against the current regime. In addition, Saudi Arabia had no military, while Iran had a huge force. From looking at a map, it is evident that Iran and Saudi Arabia are only separated by a few miles. This is one of the major reasons that Saudi Arabia bought the access to nuclear weapons from Pakistan; they would look like more of a threat to Iran. Added U.S. presence brought with it culture that would penetrate the native culture and become intertwined with it. US intervention in Saudi Arabia is crucial in the rise of fast food and the development of chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity there.
Saudi Arabia and Iran are two countries that sit on opposite sides of the Sunni/Shiite divide, which can be argued as being the most prominent issue the Middle East faces today. Saudi Arabia is predominantly known to be a Sunni state, while Iran is largely inhabited by Shia Muslims. Both countries aspire to be the hegemonic powers of the region. Ethnically, Iran is known to be a Persian land, unlike Saudi Arabia that is known to be in the heart of the Arab world. These two countries are separated by the Arabian Gulf and throughout the twentieth century and up until today, the relationship between the two countries has been notoriously contentious. Within the past few years especially relationships between the two states have been very fragile with Saudi Arabia ending diplomatic ties early in 2016. The two states are strained over many issues of which are, interpretations of Islam, oil export policy and hegemonic regional leadership.

The area of Saudi Arabia is 2.25 million square kilometers, equivalent (1.4) million square miles (Batayneh, 2012). The total number population in Saudi Arabia is 25.7 million (Al-Shayaa et al., 2012).

It shares a border with eastern Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom of Bahrain lies some 25 miles on an island northwest of Qatar. Qatar’s overall terrain is flat with desert covering the majority of the country. Sand dunes and salt flats are the chief topographical features of the southern and southeastern sectors. Qatar has more than 350 miles of coastline (Britannica, The Editors of Encylopeadia, 2015). Like most counties in the surrounding area the weather is very hot and dry. The sun beats down throughout the majority of the day, as the summer temperatures can reach up to 122 degrees (“Qatar Weather, climate and geography,” 2016). Since Qatar doesn’t hold natural bodies of fresh water, it is forced to depend on wells as the source of only fresh water. The only vegetation found in Qatar is to the north. With such lack of water and vegetation and increase of population as of 2012, Qatar relies on 90% of food imports from foreign countries (Wyatt,

The Saudi Arabian education has gone through an astounding transformation. Initially, education was only available to few people who were children of the wealthy families. However, the transformation of the Saudi Education is now offering education to all children regardless of their social status.
