Over half of KSA is made up by mountainous regions/territory. All kinds of landscapes exists. Tropical areas, desert, steppe, volcanic areas, hilly areas, mountainous areas and 4000 km of coastline, biggest palm grooves in the world, mostly tropical coastline and 1500 islands. The natural beauty is unquestionable.
What is now KSA has been home to dozens of ancient civilizations and been part of dozens of ancient Semitic and Arab civilizations and empires. Even the Roman Empire (Northern Hijaz). Moreover throughout most of its history then KSA has been prosperous compared to most of the world.
In general the Arabian Peninsula is one of the richest areas in terms of natural resources in the entire world (if not the richest) and has a key strategic position in the world bordering 3 continents. Europe next by, Africa and Asia which the Arabian Peninsula itself is a part of. Much richer than most areas of the world on that front as well.
Historically Arabia was also a wealthy region for most of the time (despite not being populated as densely) and it was a corner stone in the first international trade route in history (Incense Route) as most of the valuable goods there came from Arabia and later the Arabian Sea/Indian Ocean trade.
Incense Route - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Incense Route lasted for nearly 1 millennium starting about 3000 years ago until the 2rd century AD.
Arabian frankincense (back then the most valuable goods), precious stones, myrrh, pearls, gold etc. was bought to all corners of the world from Arabia.
KSA also has one of the earliest gold mines in the world and the biggest in the ME. Active since 3000 BC!

Arabs/Semites as well as in the ancient Incense Route controlled most of the Indian Ocean trade 2 millenniums later.
