Answer:
- Harsh weather
- Not enough access to fresh water
Explanation:
Saudi Arabia might be one of the world's largest producers of crude oil but they most of the country experiences extremely hot and dry temperatures on account of the Arabian desert with little access to fresh water sources that would enable them supply to their citizens.
