If you think that’s odd, then the tale of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, and the story of the seven voyages of Sinbad the Sailor, are also not from the Arabian Nights, but were later additions by Galland, not found in the original manuscript. None of the three most famous stories from the Arabian Nights are actually, strictly speaking, from the Arabian Nights. King Faisal, one of the progressive kings of Saudi Arabia, was declared man of the year by the Times issue of January 1975. He was assassinated in the same year. The major developments of the early 20th century were the Arab Revolt during World War I and the subsequent collapse and partitioning of the Ottoman Empire. The Arab Revolt (1916–1918) was initiated by the Sherif Hussein ibn Ali with the aim of securing independence from the ruling Ottoman Empire and creating a single unified Arab state spanning from Aleppo in Syria to Aden in Yemen. During World War I, the Sharif Hussein entered into an alliance with the United Kingdom and France against the Ottomans in June 1916.In the Arab world, national festivals and religious observances, such as Ramadan and the pilgrimage to Mecca, are the highlights of the year.

They have a unique digestive system that allows them to extract maximum nutrients from tough desert plants, which often have low nutritional content. They also have the ability to lower their metabolic rate during times of food scarcity, allowing them to conserve energy and survive in the harsh desert environment. Whether the Arabian Leopard still exists at all in the wild in Saudi Arabia is uncertain. Previous estimates put the population in the country at about 50, but recent camera-trap surveys have failed to detect any.The average lifespan of an Arabian wolf is 6-8 years in the wild and 10-12 years if well-kept in captivity. As they get older, these wolves can suffer from several common ailments. The most common diseases include: The earliest copies were written in a heavy script called Kufic. About 1000 AD, Naskh which is a lighter cursive script replaced Kufic. Naskh is still being used in Saudi Arabia. The Arabic alphabet was invented around the 4th century. Arabian wolves are omnivorous animals. While their diet is largely based on meat, they also eat vegetables and even human garbage when needed. Bacterial diseases such as brucellosis, Lyme disease, leptospirosis, tularemia, and bovine tuberculosis are often caused by feeding on human garbage and can be lethal if left untreated. However, from the 10th century (and, in fact, until the 20th century) the Hashemite Sharifs of Mecca maintained a state in the most developed part of the region, the Hejaz. Their domain originally comprised only the holy cities of Mecca and Medina but in the 13th century it was extended to include the rest of the Hejaz. Although, the Sharifs exercised at most times independent authority in the Hejaz, they were usually subject to the suzerainty of one of the major Islamic empires of the time. In the Middle Ages, these included the Abbasids of Baghdad, and the Fatimids, Ayyubids, and Mamluks of Egypt.
