Sea Salt
Since Saudi Arabia is mainly covered in desert, and has no access to rivers, the country needed a solution for water. The result is that it has the world’s largest desalination plant, in Jubail. The water is brought in from the Red Sea and from the Persian Gulf.

The Stampede
On September 24th, 2015, Saudi Arabia suffered an event that took the lives of over 2,000 worshipers. The “2015 Mina Stampede” occurred when hoards of worshipers flocked to Saudi Arabia for the annual Hajj pilgrimage. The reason for the stampede is widely argued, but most agree that it was due to overcrowding.
