What I Learned:
I learned a lot about Saudi Arabia by doing this project. I learned why Saudi Arabia's flag is what it is. I learned what their money is called and how much their dollar is to ours. I also learned the different foods they eat and how similar they are to american food. I learned Saudi Arabia's capitol city.
I learned that Saudi Arabia doesn't have a president, they have a king. I also learned many historical facts about this country. I did not know that it is the largest country in the middle east or the leading petroleum exporter in the world. I want to learn how to make some of their food. It looks very good and i want to try some. I also learned how to make a web page using wikispaces.com.
