Saudi Arabia is the largest country in the Middle East and the second largest among the Arab countries in terms of territory, covering approximately 2.15 million km². Located in southwest Asia, the nation occupies most of the Arabian Peninsula. With an annual rainfall of less than 150 millimeters, Saudi Arabia is one of the few countries in the world that does not have a permanent river. However, something extraordinary is happening in its desert. In the 1960s, Saudi Arabia's fertile territory was only 400 km². Today, the country has a vast agricultural network of plantations, presenting an unusual landscape and allowing the cultivation of a wide variety of foods and fruits.
