Saudi Arabia is located south of a mountainous region. Most of the prevailing winds are from the north. As the moist air from the north moves through the mountains, the air is forced higher in altitude where moisture is dropped as rain in the mountains. By the time it reaches Saudi Arabia, the air has lost much of it's water. When the air drops out of the mountains into lower elevations, it becomes denser and even less likely to drop any rain whatsoever.
Over many thousands of years, this has made Saudi Arabia an arid and dry land.
