Saudi Arabia
5 cities in this atlas
Riyadh serves as the seat of government, yet Jeddah, on the western coast, stands as the country's largest city, a divide that shapes how administration and commerce pull in different directions across the map. Saudi Arabia's settlements stretch across a wide longitudinal spread, all held to a single clock, so civil time drifts from solar time as one moves toward the eastern and western edges of the country.
