Parts of what is now eastern Saudi Arabia were first
settled in the fourth or fifth millenium BC by
migrants from what is now southern Iraq. The
Nabateans had the biggest of the early empires,
stretching as far as Damascus around the first
century BC.
In the early 18th century the Al-Saud, the ruling
family of modern Saudi Arabia, were the ruling
shaikhs of the oasis village of Dir'aiyah, near
modern Riyadh. |
