Poverty In Saudi Arabia


Saudi Arabia, founded in 23 September 1932, known for its oil wealth. With a population of only 28.3 Million, Saudi GDP per capita for the year 2012 is $25,500. This, in fact, presumably guarantees a decent life for all citizens. Unfortunately, the below short movie reveals the truth. Shocking truth! Despite being the largest oil producer in the middle east, Saudi Arabian citizens living in its capital city found to be living below the global living standards. Saudi Arabia's currency is the Saudi Riyal, which is equivalent to 0.26669 USD.



My next post most likely would talk about Saudi Arabian capital city, Riyadh. Till then!

What the Non-Saudi Arabians have to say about Saudi Arabia

 
For years, Saudi Arabia has not been recognized in the Western community. In an effort to develop an educated human resources that serves the country, the government of Saudi Arabia has granted scholarships to its high achiever citizens. In 2011, it was estimated that 100,000 of the Saudi students studying bachelor, master, or PhD are in several countries. 50% of them are perusing their education in the United States of America alone. This has not reflected positively on the Saudi part, but also on the other nations'. Due to the great exposure of diverse races and intellectual interaction between the students, people are forming somewhat accurate assumptions on Saudi Arabia. Below is a video, where people from different countries are being asked about their perception of Saudi Arabia.




I hope you enjoyed the video! I promise more interesting content in the future postings.
