I feel the video forgot to say Saudi Arabia lacks any rivers.
O J Marin yeah we don’t have any revers 💔💔
Haven't you heard of its Zamzam under the ground source of drinking water in the heart of Makkah ?
Esra Tasneem it’s not a river it’s a well
@@al-kalbi1322 : Thank you.
Alhumdullillah, It is said that construction workers dug a road in the Buraydah area of Saudi Arabia at a depth of 19 meters. They have discovered the existence of underground rivers. It's video is just out in RUclips.
It wouldn't be a Saudi Arabian video without talking about oil.
Alexander Lehigh
Iv'e been in the parts of the internet that have comments that talk about suicide, killing, cancer, and fat people. It's been so long since I have seen normal comments.
I feel with the oil wealth we currently have, we have to focus even more strongly on diversifying our energy sector into renewable energy sources such as solar energy, for the security and prosperity of KSA and the gulf in the future. it is our responsibly for future generations.
historically very important country .salute from brazil .
historically? this country hasn't even been around for 100 years.
Saudi Arabia has been around for only 300 years and this specific Saudi Arabia isn’t 100 years old but Arabia itself without al saud, is thousands and thousands of years and it’s been on of the most advanced and one of the most impacting on all of my kind it ruled the entire world from 632-1400 it advanced human civilizations all across the world
pc gold arabs have existed for thousands of years even way before islam came
@@stoneruler this is the third Saudi Arabia
The first Saudi was established 1744
@@liFE-gt6or lol it never "ruled the entire world" dude, maybe Western Asia and north Africa, but no way the world.
Saudi Arabia's challenge is oil dependence and population explosion...... Religious extremism makes it hard to to control the population.... in Iran and Turkey a woman has an average of 3 kids but in Saudi Arabia it is 5
Not true at all fertility rate in saudi arabia is 2.2 kids per women so low for a country this size and big wealth, and it is 2.05 per women in turkey and 1.8 in Iran
Naweed sediq Not true the average kids per Saudi women is around 2.0-2.3

Can anybody tell me more about the music at the end of the video?
i tried arabic to english translations, they actually make your attempt of an insult sound extremly humourous. keep up the good work, im having heaps of fun reading them, ecspecially the mum insults.
*Persians came from central Asia in 400 bc*
*Arabs lived on both sides of the Gulf before persian invasion*
*Arabian Gulf is the true legitimate name* 👍🏻
i don't get why in the comments everyone is arguing over whether its the persian gulf or arabian gulf. why can't we just use it interchangeably?
Sir let me introduce you to the Middle East
I find Berrylium rocks that are probably beryl, hambergite, Euclase, rhodizite, londonite and to assume more a taaffeite in Saudi Arabia Khurais oilfield.
Hello Guys !!! I would like to see your views on the Brazil's geographic challenges... thank you for feeding people's mind with good stuf....
I WOULDNRT
@@bigpeen9806 Not you fat dog!!! It was to the Channel
Oh my god
I have never read and have never seen a gulf called Arabian gulf. This is bullshit.
I have seen the Arabian Sea on the map but this part of water is called PERSIAN GULF.
Fatemeh Arabian gulf because they speak Arabic not Persian
Hey guys im in class rn *default dances* lmao whomst’d’ven’t
I never knew that Mecca was so close to notoriously unstable Sudan.
Their actually Anglo-Saxons (English-German) Celts are Irish Scottish & Welsh.
It's sad how these people think. We should all try to get along and advance as humans. Ethnicity doesn't even matter, the differences genetically between yourself, I, and anyone else is less that 1%.
Persian gulf since beginning of time , Persian gulf for ever .
***** That's ok your are irrelevant .

End of fight ... the Arab wins 🏆
The Persian is crazy
Ya I enjoyed it too 😅😅😅😅
I riped her Arab ass 💋💋💋💋
Also, the entire country has 0 rivers. I'm not sure on lakes though.
Oggy Oggy AKA British Mapping their's a lake a big one to you can find it in Google map's
Too**
Lemme go find it, PS it's 'Maps' not 'map's'.
Found some, biggest one I could find was Afar.
Ottoman Empire borders were painted on the map wrongly. Ottoman controll was more than the green area....
Sad but true. Alignment is still driven mainly by empire building still, but this might change, the US is becoming more and more progressive, maybe in our lifetimes.
will see?
If oil Peaked in 2005 to 2008 how can you claim that its Rising in 2012.
Its like geography now but short
That will never change. Alliances are built on common interests, not politics. Besides, Jewish money funds big politics in the USA, whether it's "progressive" or "conservative" or anything else.
stratfor was a cool name
Persia was a country in XIX century,Arabs were then under the outside rule.Geographers were thinking in their contemporary terms.Basically they were doing favor,naming gulf after only country that was still independent.Stop raging.Or at least direct it at someone who:1. cares. 2 comes from western country 3. comes from western country that actually named the gulf 4. comes from western country that actually named the gulf and preferably is also able to change its name with snap of his fingers.
Lol, the only difference between Iran and KSA when it comes to goverment type is that one is ruled by a monarch and other is ruled by a monarch who choose two people that can be voted by citizens. :)
I would rather live in KSA as it has better education and lifestandarts. :)

It's not "Cutter" is "Kaataar""
No, it's 'Cutter' watch Geography Now's video on Bahrain to find pronounciation, it is buried somewhere in the video.
I think you're both wrong
Ok, Mr Stubbon, did you actually watch it?
Don't need to, i know i'm right, kust check out Wikipedia upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/29/En-us-Qatar.ogg
Well I guess there are 2 different sides, like pop and soda.... but that's just for the US.
long live the king
and that's me
as an American I sincerely apologize for my countries hand in legitimizing the saud families tyrannical hold over this worthless patch of dessert.
charley rhodes Well it was more the uk's (and france) fault of putting them their in the first place
An ignorant American like you who do not have an identity or origin and lives under the new roman empire "America" will not realize that other humans, cultures should be respected and see the beauty in other nations.
beside the fact that Saudi Arabia is not all about desert..the western region "Tihamah (Look for wiki)" are known for mountains, valleys and moderate whether and towns like Macca, Taif and under that till Yemen and that's why even centuries ago a lot of activity, trading and towns were there in addition to that it was like a resting place and those who come from the middle of desert who have no home land and keep travelling called "Bediouns" even that when some of them come to the towns and populations they being called "savages" or "toughs" by urban Arabians who settles towns and cities like in the western region and the known tribes there.
Hubbly Bubbly The Place you are talking about belongs to *Hejaz* and not *Saudi Arabia* which was created by *The House of Saud* from *Najd* with the help of *Western powers* and hence Hejaz and Najd should be partitioned.
charley rhodes If you are christian or jew then you are also the production of Middle east bcz both these relegion was founded on these "desert land".
Worthless? Trillions of dollars worth of oil is beneath that land.
western who? there is no such thing as "western celtics". To whom you are reffering to?

Except, my friends, global oil consumption is NOT going to continue to rise...
Saudi Arabia RIP
Hahaha we are the next Somalia.. coming soon
It's going to continue to rise in the short-term. But in the long-run, Saudi-Arabia will become the next Yemen!
even though at least they did such a good things but i wish you dare to compare the steps of Arab kings withe and IRAN steps.
Oh I see Arabs are mad here lol. Thats a truth Persian gulf from the beginning of history and will remain forever. Stop trying hard to change it lol.
Abdul Gemayyel
Persia is the historic name of Iran, In 1939 the king of Persia changed the name of country from Persia to Iran for more union in the country Because not all the people in Iran speak Persian but also there are about 10 different speaking languages in Iran and one of them is Arabic. Persian were the first people in the area to using the gulf and it backs to 3500 years ago and in all historic maps from Greek to Roman it named Persian gulf, the world have known this gulf as a Persian gulf and I am not agree with you that most people on the Persian side of the gulf are speaking Arabic maybe only 20% and its actually their second language and all of them are proud to be called a Persian or Iranian. So remember that Persian is not a language it is a nationality also.
+Amin Bj کس نگو امین، اون خلیج عربی هست اسمش، اشتباه چرا نوشتی؟
The first civilization that set on this gulf was Babylonia not Persia so it's more like Babylonian Gulf.
+bioware 88 how while all the people who live around the Gulf are Arabs???
*****
Babylonians were Semitic people but Iranians are not, the closest people to Babylonians are Arabs as both of them are Semitic groups.
Saudi Arabia is a political aberration. It’s made up of cultural, religious, and historical areas that have never had any real kinship or sense of shared purpose. As soon as the oil revenues start to dry up, the central government will completely lose their legitimacy. I predict that the country will be forced to federalize sometime within this century. So you’d have the Hijaz, North Yemen, Wahhabistan, Hanbalistan, and the East. And Saudi Arabia will cease to exist as a major player in the Middle East.
But just to think aloud a little bit further, maybe this federal state with a weaker central government would attract other countries on the peninsula to join it, each subunit having its own set of laws and social rules. It could be the Switzerland of the Middle East.
meh you’re delirious asf have you never read about the history of Arabia? Have you never read about the Arabian empire ? Or the Abbasid empire or Umayyad empire?
Stop talking nonsense. Its just geographical name. If for instance Saudi Arabia was a country in XIX century gulf would be named differently, but since it was not there they caled it Persian gulf-becuase Persia was there. Similar story with India and "Indian Ocean". Or maybe you want to put claim on that too. Beisdes I don't care, nor my country nor any of our nieghbours have interests there so suit yourself.
am sorry for my bad English but i hope you can get the meant from it.
Hi
Persians are going to call it Husain's gulf don't be misleaded
am not broad to know some English and never ever been, but i need it these days so don't be so broad of somthing i don't care about.
please ansewr my Q:
1- why Persia.
2- how many million and died by Celtics Suns & why.
3- Do you really know who's your father "for sure neither your grand's"
4- is it hate or jealous who push you to talk about the Great Arab.
That means that because USA is being called "america".USA should claim the whole continent?
lloe. Did anybody find any real geographical challenges?
Yup, the Eastern Province, which is Shia Arab majority in an otherwise Wahabi Sunni Arab majority Saudi state, and holds the brute majority of Saudi oil, is prone to manipulation by Iran, the Shia theological epicenter of the world.
That is the by far the biggest challenge of the Saudi state.
That, and the south western provinces bordering the fragile state of Yemen.
The American aircraft carriers keep it open.
it's arab golf not parisn golf it's arab golf
sins 200 BC
what?
Golf was made here, in Scotland. :P
haven't had your breakfast lizards today sand shit?
where is Arabian Gulf ? North Polar ? Marth ?
Persian Gulf since 1000 BC and in prophets hadises
From Iranian Turk
Persian Gulf 4 ever
in that age the ARAB were the Leaders of the sea nothing about Persia, ARAB ISLAMIC EMPIRE the latest in that region Plus it's the most generous Empire for the Humanity in all sections SO why sticking in Persia while it's not the latest and not the first either there was ASHOUR and BABYLON and so on ?!!
if you know english, i would love to know what you said.
It is the arabian gulf iran east is arabian there is more arabs on the arabain gulf than Persian.
Abdul Gemayyel true words.
fardin Yousefi Yeah keep crying the week only have insults to attack the strong with. It is the Arabian gulf more arabs live on the shore of the gulf than persians. Get your head out of the sand. Al-ahwaz are arabs that live east of iran they cover most of the eastern shore of the Arabian gulf. Their lands are occupied by the persians for their oil.
It has been Persian gulf for thousands of years, why are you guys cry so much about a name ?
Mojtaba Ro It is the arabian gulf no persians live on its shores, irans shore on the guild is populated by arabs.
nawaf n
And who says southern shores of Iran are populated by Arabs ?! there are a lot of Persians living there. by the way if thats a case a lot of other names should change too, like sea of Oman, Caspian sea,south China sea and etc! my point is that it is a historical name and it has been there for centuries and it is not about what ethnicity is living around it.
that's what i expect form People coming from Celtic's Knowledge ( fart, dynamite into your ass and blow) and you call others terrorists, i guess the fact says that you need that dynamite more than anybody els...
WE KNOW THAT YOUR CHANCE TO BE THE LEADERS OF THE WORLD HAS ALMOST EXPIRE we will see you again as you were before we reach Andalusia
im white yes, not bald.
why does this matter?
To solve the ongoing debate of whether it should be the 'Arabian Gulf' or the 'Persian Gulf', I propose we instead name it the 'Gulf War Gulf' because merica and freedom
what happens if the foreign power (the US) decides to not care?
War
allahu akbar
How to pronounce Qatar CA~TAR
but the western world knows it as the persian gulf... sorry i guess
Theres not going to be a Kingdom or saudi Arabia in afew years
y do u think that?
kazakhseven just like there wont be you in few years, countries names do change but people will remain
no they get support by British after they did make the
Unity of the Arab stripes. But Khomaini they put him direct on the arch of Iran by france Air ;0')
(that was because Bahlawee"shaah" support Egypt against Israel with critical needs for the Oil Tanker, and he did).
So they need to change that dog withe new One "Alkhomaini"
Every academic source: Persian Gulf
Old Arab maps: Khalij Fars
Any historical map/reference: Persian Gulf
Dumb nationalist Arabs: ARAB GULF
-_-
The maker of this vid (and all his others) has an outdated and archaic view of how a country maintains sovereignty. He should stick with geographical discriptions rather than posture as an authority or having educated opinions on the geopolitics of these countries.
A R A B I A N GULF- nothing called Persian gulf even in history it was BASRAH GULF.. even the Persian doesen't have any kind of sea activities or boat Designs, all the ships and Boat design are ARABIAN and the trade with Far East was With arab...
The mention of ottomans is in every other video.
Why doesn't Saudi just build a stinking pipeline to the Red Sea?
Pipelines are damn expensive to maintain and have lesser capacity to carry oil.
i will if you behave deference against Arab... or you may want me to say Lies??
Saudi arabia is existing since only 70 years hahah. British created KSA. obviously *PERSIAN GULF* Because iran exists since 11.000 Years there.
Arabia or Arabic is one of the Semitic races and they existed for more than 2,000 years. Saudi Arabia is a country of a bedouin traitor and criminal called. do not mix between the two.
11.000 years or 11.000 billions of years ??? LMAo ......i think you dreaming boy
rza rza iran is 4000 years old only Iraq is 8000 years old stop pulling random shirt out of your ass
@@liFE-gt6or dude Iraq has been a part of Rome or Persia or an Arabian caliphate since its existence
The Kamal Kartik yea cause Persians and romans always invaded Iraq but Iraq are Semitics same as Arabs they’re both Arabs but Persians especially tried to persianize iraq thankfully it didn’t work
Yeah... we don't care. Maybe we would if you didn't labeled us your enemy. We name gulfs around the world how we please. You wan't to change that, start by being nicer to random youtuber. But even then there are some names that aren't going to change no matter what. Look at the canal that divides UK form France. It has two names, one French and one British. No one is going to accept change in favour of somebody else. So you go name it as you want, we stick to our tradition.
true, but your land needs your skills more than Arabian Gulf.. Go fix you house first then look to help other's
Arabian Gulf forever
Rabbany Yep Arabia Gulf forever
thats just propaganda bro ur kings wer put in power by the west thats a fact not iran just sent u private msg peace
i dont understand this islamic state business... whats so bad about you having an opinion in politics? do you have that much doubt in your own intellegence that you cant trust yourself to choose?
Even if its an islamic state, you still have a leader, dont you want a choice on who leads you?
or would you rather just follow the first dictator/sheik that claims hes the most upstanding to tell you how/what to think via his iterpretation of the quran?
SYRIA "SORIYAA" IS FREE ARAB MUSLIM COUNTRIES ARE FREE AND ISLAM UNITY RETURN SOON
Make one on Pakistan
Fackistan is a fake country made up by Britian just like Savage Arabia
navylaks2 Yo chill out
hi
I didn't looked to fix yours. Thats your unfounded assumption. I already stated before: I couldn't care less, not my business. Why you even have impression that I want to fix anything where you came from? Do I look like US president? Said: my country has no interests there. So I don't care.
read the history to find out who you are Or where will you be by now without Arab.
by the way "Camels are One of the most beautiful and wonderful animals" ;0')
you might prefer " Pig " ;0'))
I don't know if you noticed, but this "celtic knowledge" is running ther world for past 400 years, and contribution of your civilization during that time to human progress is next to zero. We did not do it to you, you did it to yourself long before europeans become world powers. If not for that, as you already pointed out, you should rule the world, because you were more advanced in past. WERE. European conquest was effect of modernization, not the other way around.
Pakistan SaudiArabia ❤️💗
Saudi and Iran are going to eventually throw down
The naked truth, Saudi Arabia is expected to be a net oil importer in 17 years, according to T. Boone Pickens, and less than 30 years, according to the Wall Street Journal. Saudis will have their geographic challenge cut out for them. The real challenge for Saudi Arabia from now until kingdom come will be fresh water, and getting its indolent and profligate population to adjust to a lower standard of living and to lower expectations. The House of Saud has squirreled away so much wealth abroad that it will not be much affected economically. Politically, I hear a different tune.
No. There is no such thing as western celtics, you manufacaured this term. The only way you can categorize nations of Europe is by language which is, mind you, often hugely differentiated despite ancestry. Therefore you have romance languages, germanic languages and slavic languages. There are also ugro-finnics. But even within such groups you have languages and ethnicities which are hugely different, just look at English and German, beeing in germanic group. You have no knowledge.
Unify with a dark hand of British. And WHY WOULD IRAN WANT INVASION OF KSA ? THIS IS PATHETIC..THEY ARE THIRD LARGEST RESERVES and they also iraq under their arm.. this is the most stupid analysis I have seen, why would they want to invade.. to get the same thing what they already have and lots of it
not arabic, Persian Or western.. good then pull out your nose and switch it to USSR
yes they would if the southern part are minimum as 10% or less in publication and the resources worth the ride THey Surely repeat the history and they will do it again as there grand father's does from the poor Celtic Euro ;0)
they killed hundreds of millions from the native Indians because it was worthy LOL
by the way SORIYAH will be free soon then everything will get more clear about why Muslimeen are down [ soon we will reject the Democracy systems who injected by western and will get united as One Islam Land.. ruled by Islam rules"Shourah"].
Persian Gulf 💪
do you understand what you read Or you Just pick the things you like??
Persia in between Greater Empires Such Iraq Babylon AND The Greatest Ever THE ISLAMIC EMPIRE ( WHY pERCIA!! in time the sea trades done By Arab )
i guess you Know who creat the Universities & Public Libraries "if you know nything about history"
=how old you are to laugh like goofy?
Ι suppose you are white balb Australian!
if your name is CHRISTO why should i call you MOHAMMED?? now who should change his mind about your name you or me??
very basic and childish analysis
It's Arabian Gulf
go read history or the rolls of Islam to find out why all that happens to Islamic world. "i am not weak to answer you but my language"
anyway Soriyah will be free soon then Islam will rise again soon, it's part of steps been told by prophet 1433 years ago and they will come one after One. [50 Signs of the Day of Judgment], final i feel sick when i try speak English so please dont force me to do somthing i hate.
I am from Saudi Arabia .. *-*..
I don't know what you says but don't talk about my country this the best country in the world .. my country is the kingdom of peace
if you know the meaning of Language you won't dare to ask Arabian to learn "Cut and paste language as the English language " that' makes me laugh ;0'))
( where you from pls ) lol
Hahahah, I am complately unable to make anything of use out of this "sentence". Learn human speak. I don't care which, just...become comprehensible. Or otherwise our discussion will look like this: you tongue debased from a little take it out from you then we will talk.
also, lol, im not a jew.
Saudi Arabia challenge is that it should not exist.
Hindi...Lauange
dismally cheap totally unnecesary midi sound track.
Why can't those country just unite and be called Great Arabia or just Arabia? They're basically the same anyways
Dumbass
which ones ?!
no they aren't.
Nathalie Golding, because of various reasons. 1. ruling families are rival 2. there are some religious differences (Omanis are Ibadi, many Yemenis are Shia Zaidi, Bahrainis are majority Shia Jaffari, Saudis are majority Sunni Wahhabi,....) 3. different populations have different background for example Iraq has many non-Arab Turk or Kurdish folks, some other have mixed African decent and so on. Many people in this region are not originally Arabs but have been Arabized over centuries. Original Arabs are from Yemen and Saudi Arabian region. People of Iraq and Egypt are majority Arabized folks. Egyptians were Copt and Iraqis were Sumerrian, Akkadian, Assyrian, Babylonian. Syrians used to be Aramaic, Lebanese were Phoenician and so on. 4. Because natural resources; for example countries which have oil and gas don't want to share their wealth with other Arab countries. 5. because of geographical location and historical dynasties who ruled each part of the region. 6. Because of the form of government: some are absolute monarchy, constitutional monarchy, oligarchy, half monarchy half theocracy, democracy, dictatorship and so on.
Rz kgb majority of suadis aren't whabbi, in the west they are either only sunnis or sofis, in the south they are either shia or sunni shafei, in the cities near jordan and kuwait they are also sunni shafei, in the east near bahrain in al-qatif and tarot they are shia jaffari, also NO arabs are from yemen, this stupid rumor made by arabs is not true, arabs are from ishmael, please search "shem family tree" and look at Eber, he had two sons and one of them is called Yoktan, the father of yemenis, he had sons like sheba (later is the famous kingdom of sheba) and he had hadramoveth, a mountain range named after him as hadramout, also the language made by Yoktanites is sabaean, later arabs adopted it, the language is called the misnad langauge, also ALL civilization is by the yemenis, like Aad, thamud(madain saleh) in hejr, kendah, lakhmids, gassanids, sheba, hadramout, and the jewish himyarites, and they are also related to people from socotra, and ethiopia, because of the axum empire, only nabteans, quraish, and garrhum are were civilized arabs, and phoenicians came from arabia, they immigrated due to climate change, there home country is bahrain.
