Economy and Culture
The economy of Saudi Arabia is heavily dependent on the oil industry, with the country being one of the largest oil producers in the world. Despite its wealth, the country has a conservative social culture influenced by Islamic religion and customs. Women have fewer opportunities than men, and the society generally adheres to strict Islamic laws and practices. However, the country is gradually modernizing as it aims to diversify its economy and reduce its dependence on the oil industry.
