Gum arabic
Extracted from the sap of some Acacia tree species, gum arabic has plenty of uses, such as stabilizer in soft drinks and multiple uses for other foods. It is also used in watercolor paints, ceramic glaze, printmaking, pyrotechnics, glues, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, wine, shoe polish and lickable adhesives for postage stamps and envelopes. Gum arabic is one of the main products of Sudan, which accounts for 30 per cent of total exports worldwide. Because of the war in Sudan, producers — such as soft drink giants Coca-Cola and Pepsi — and the local market are in dire straits.
Wadi Qanuna Dam
Located in Saudi Arabia's western province of Makkah, Wadi Qanuna Dam is one of the Kingdom’s largest barrages. The site is a popular tourist destination and the surrounding Qanuna Valley is characterized not only by its running water and natural beauty, but also unique rock formations and archaeological inscriptions.
