Saudi Arabia, officially the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), is a country in West Asia. Located in the centre of the Middle East, it covers the bulk of the Arabian Peninsula, between the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. Saudi Arabia is the only country with a coastline along both the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, and most of its terrain consists of arid desert, lowland, steppe, and mountains. The capital and largest city is Riyadh; other major cities include Jeddah and the two holiest cities in Islam, Mecca and Medina. With a population of almost 32.2 million, Saudi Arabia is the fourth most populous country in the Arab world. In 1916 the Grand Sherif of Mecca declared the Sanjak of Hejaz independent of Turkish rule. In 1925, Ibn Saud, then Sultan of the Nejd, captured the Hejaz after a prolonged siege of Jedda, the last Hejaz stronghold. The resulting Kingdom of the Hejaz and Nejd was renamed Saudi Arabia in 1932. 40 Paras = 1 Piaster = 1 Guerche (Garch, Qirsh) 11 Guerche = 1 Riyal (1928) 110 Guerche = 1 Sovereign (1931) 440 Guerche = 1 Sovereign (1952) 20 Piasters (Guerche) = 1 Riyal (1960) 100 Halalas = 1 Riyal (1976)
