Oil in The Middle East


Wow as we have traveled we are amazing at the amount of oil reserves that are are here. They produce over 50% of the world oil just in one section of the world. Oil helps the Middle East's economy a ton because they can't plant much because of their climate so having a needed natural resource is very good for their economy. The leading exporter of oil is Saudi Arabia with 10.72 million barrels of oil a day. When we saw that number we were amazed. Sadly our trip is almost over so we will post more pics that we took when we get home.
