Hi, friends. Have you ever looked around and thought about the land we live on? Let's

00:09.640 --> 00:15.520
go on a fun adventure to explore some of the amazing features of our world, like deserts,

00:15.520 --> 00:22.760
mountains, coastlines and oasis. These are called land forms, and each one is truly unique

00:22.760 --> 00:29.640
and special. Most of Saudi Arabia is covered by deserts. Can you believe that the largest

00:29.640 --> 00:37.080
sand desert in the world is right here? It's called the Rub Al-Kali, or the Empty Quarter.

00:37.080 --> 00:43.520
Deserts may seem empty at first, but they're full of life, plants, animals, and even people

00:43.520 --> 00:50.880
have found ways to live here for thousands of years. Isn't that incredible?

00:50.880 --> 00:58.760
Now let's climb up high to the mountains. Saudi Arabia has two important mountain ranges.

00:58.760 --> 01:05.440
The Hijaws Mountains, near the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, are rocky and majestic.

01:05.440 --> 01:09.600
Then there are the Asir Mountains, which are greener and cooler because they get more

01:09.600 --> 01:14.680
rain. Imagine standing there and feeling the fresh breeze.

01:14.680 --> 01:22.800
Next, let's visit the coastlines. Saudi Arabia has two coastlines, one by the Red Sea and

01:22.800 --> 01:29.240
another by the Persian Gulf. The Red Sea is famous for its coral reefs and is great

01:29.240 --> 01:35.120
for exploring underwater treasures. While the Persian Gulf is very important for trade

01:35.120 --> 01:42.360
and travel, people love to visit these beaches to enjoy the water, sun, and sand.

01:42.360 --> 01:49.360
And look at this! A beautiful oasis. Oasis are like magical spots in the desert where you

01:49.360 --> 01:56.880
find water, plants, and animals. The El-Hasa oasis in Saudi Arabia is one of the largest

01:56.880 --> 02:01.760
in the world. These green spaces bring life to dry areas and are so important for the

02:01.760 --> 02:03.520
people and animals that live near them.
