Geocache Description:

A courier just delivered a handwritten message to your door. It reads:

My dear friend and intrepid traveler,

After much planning, I have prepared a new and exciting challenge for you. Called Around the World in 80 Caches!, it requires patience, ingenuity, and the ability to handle the unexpected. In this journey, you will be venturing into several countries, 80 in all, in search of concealed artifacts. The countries will lead you to continents, and the continents will lead you to the ultimate prize, hereafter known as "The World." Based on your experience and past adventures, I am confident you will succeed. As always, travel safe and be sure to document your findings. I look forward to hearing all about your grand expedition.

Your great admirer,

Jules Verne

IMPORTANT NOTE: Information in this cache will help you solve Asia: ATW80 (GC1MGA9), a puzzle cache tied to the related countries.

Saudi Arabia is the largest country on the Arabian Peninsula. It is located near two important bodies of water, namely, the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea. The economy of the country is driven by oil; it ranks first in exports. As might be expected, it is a leading voice in OPEC (the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries).

Much of the landmass consists of uninhabited desert. Even the nomadic Bedouin population is shrinking, as extreme heat and other climate factors make life difficult. The highest temperature ever recorded was 124° F, an astounding number.
