Describe Saudi Arabia in one or two word(s): Hi Friends, Much has been told about this country. People have shared their good experiences (mostly in brief) and the not-so-good ones (in detail). So, I thought of asking you all, what comes first to your mind when you hear the name of this country Saudi Arabia. Note: Please answer / describe it in one or two word(s) only.

Yes it's the same.
Many languages don't have KH sound (like in KHartoum) and it's spoken as H.
