Best Answer

At time of prophet Muhammad saw that area was known as Arabia or Hejaz, it was renamed Saudi Arabia in 1920.

Arabia in Mohammed's time would have been largely unoccupied (much like today) with the occasional cities dotting the landscape. In the cities, there would have been marketplaces where people would sell wares, shrines for different gods venerated by the different tribes in the city, and numerous militias to defend the different tribes. In larger cities like Mecca and Medina, there would have been places for camels and caravans which would take larger quantities of goods between cities.

Do Shiites hate Saudi Arabia?

They hate Saudi family [Ibn Saud and his progeny] not Saudi Arabia, per se. Shiites hate Wahhabism (the movement of Sunni Islam that has official promotion in Saudi Arabia), not Arab people, because Wahhabism claims that Shiites are deviants from Islam and are a corrupted Jewish sect. This is untrue, since Shiites follow Islam from the time of Prophet Muhammad through his family (the sons and grandsons of his only daughter, Fatimah). Additionally, the Saudi government supports the persecution of Saudi Shiites and the destruction of their mosques.
