How to spot Saudi Arabia from satellite imagery
Saudi Arabia has a long Red Sea coast, elevated terrain in the west, and broad dry interior regions. In detailed imagery, centre-pivot irrigation can appear as circles within the desert. The Empty Quarter occupies much of the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula.
Compare the western highlands near the Red Sea with the broad interior. The regional overview is too coarse to identify individual farms; use a closer image for that task.
