Saudi Arabia's got some crazy desert vibes going on, I'm talking about vast stretches of sand that'll make you feel like you're stranded on Mars. So, naturally, only about 20% of the place is populated because, let's face it, not too many folks are into setting up camp in scorching hot deserts. Plus, most of the country's resources and cities are concentrated in the more habitable regions along the coasts and near oases. The rest? Well, it's basically a giant sandbox with occasional cities popping up like mirages in the distance. But hey, at least it keeps the real estate prices down for those who are adventurous enough to call the desert home!
