Hydrological Characteristics 2.1 Rainfall Characteristics in the Study Area Figure2-1 shows the isohyetal map of the study area using the mean annual rainfall data. The change over the years and the distribution of monthly rainfall are arranged and shown in Figure2-3 based on the rainfall data of rainfall stations shown in Figure2-2. The rainfall characteristics in the study area is summarized below with reference to the figure. • There is a lot of rain in Hijaz Asir Highland with over 200 mm, even to 400 mm or 500 mm in mean annual rainfall. • Except Hijaz Asir Highland and the surrounding area, there is 200 mm below in mean annual rainfall. • There is a little rain with 50 mm below in a northeastern part, facing the Red Sea, in Makkah Region, a eastern part of Asir Region and most of Najran Region especially. • As mentioned above, the annual rainfall of the study area except Hijaz Asir Highland and the surrounding area is 50 mm below or 50 mm to 100 mm, which is equal to the annual rainfall in Riyadh as the capital of KSA. (seer to the figure below) • Most of the study area has a lot of rain through October into May and a little rain through June into July, but on the other hand, Jazan Region has a lot of rain through July into September and a little through December into February.

  • Jeddah Tower for Web.Indd
    Jeddah Tower Jeddah, Saudi Arabia Jeddah Tower Jeddah, Saudi Arabia At over 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) and a total construction area of 530,000 square meters (5.7 million square feet), Jeddah Tower— formerly known as Kingdom Tower—will be the centerpiece and first construction phase of the $20 billion Kingdom City development in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, near the Red Sea. SERVICES Expected to cost $1.2 billion to construct, Jeddah Tower will be a mixed-use building featuring a luxury hotel, office Architecture space, serviced apartments, luxury condominiums and the world’s highest observatory. Jeddah Tower’s height will be Interior Design at least 173 meters (568 feet) taller than Burj Khalifa, which was designed by Adrian Smith while at Skidmore, Owings Master Planning & Merrill. CLIENT AS+GG’s design for Jeddah Tower is both highly technological and distinctly organic. With its slender, subtly Jeddah Economic Company asymmetrical massing, the tower evokes a bundle of leaves shooting up from the ground—a burst of new life that FUNCTION heralds more growth all around it. This symbolizes the tower as a catalyst for increased development around it. Mixed use The sleek, streamlined form of the tower can be interpreted as a reference to the folded fronds of young desert plant FACTS growth. The way the fronds sprout upward from the ground as a single form, then start separating from each other at 1,000+ m height the top, is an analogy of new growth fused with technology. 530,000 sm area While the design is contextual to Saudi Arabia, it also represents an evolution and a refinement of an architectural continuum of skyscraper design.

  • Saudi Arabia 2019 Crime & Safety Report: Riyadh
    Saudi Arabia 2019 Crime & Safety Report: Riyadh This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Saudi Arabia at Level 2, indicating travelers should exercise increased caution due to terrorism. Overall Crime and Safety Situation The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh does not assume responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms appearing in this report. The American Citizens’ Services unit (ACS) cannot recommend a particular individual or location, and assumes no responsibility for the quality of service provided. Review OSAC’s Saudi Arabia-specific page for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Crime Threats There is minimal risk from crime in Riyadh. Crime in Saudi Arabia has increased over recent years but remains at levels far below most major metropolitan areas in the United States. Criminal activity does not typically target foreigners and is mostly drug-related. For more information, review OSAC’s Report, Shaken: The Don’ts of Alcohol Abroad. Cybersecurity Issues The Saudi government continues to expand its cybersecurity activities. Major cyber-attacks in 2012 and 2016 focused on the private sector and on Saudi government agencies, spurring action from Saudi policymakers and local business leaders. The Saudi government, through the Ministry of Interior (MOI), continues to develop and expand its collaboration with the U.S.

  • OSAC Country Security Report Saudi Arabia
    OSAC Country Security Report Saudi Arabia Last Updated: August 10, 2021 Travel Advisory The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication indicates travelers should not travel due to COVID-19. The advisory further highlights that travelers should reconsider travel due to the threat of missile and drone attacks on civilian facilities. Exercise increased caution due to terrorism. Do not travel to within 50 miles of the Yemeni border, including Abha, Jizan, Najran, Khamis Mushait, and the Abha airport due to missile and drone attacks; and terrorism. In addition, do not travel to Qatif in the Eastern Province and its suburbs, including Awamiyah due to terrorism. Review OSAC’s report, Understanding the Consular Travel Advisory System. The Institute for Economics & Peace Global Peace Index 2021 ranks Saudi Arabia 125 out of 163 worldwide, rating the country as being at a Low state of peace. Crime Environment The U.S. Department of State has assessed Riyadh as being a LOW-threat location for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests. The U.S. Department of State has not included a Crime “C” Indicator on the Travel Advisory for Saudi Arabia. Emergency contact information differs in regions and cities. In the Riyadh and Makkah regions, call 911 police and fire department/civil defense. Elsewhere in Saudi Arabia, call 999 for police and 998 for the fire department/civil defense. Review the State Department’s Crime Victims Assistance brochure. Crime: General Threat Crime in Saudi Arabia has increased over recent years, but remains at levels far below most major metropolitan areas in the United States.
