How many mosques and temples are there in Saudi Arabia?
There is no exact count of the number of mosques in Saudi Arabia, but there are tens of thousands at the very least. However, no other types of houses of worship are permitted in Saudi Arabia, so, regardless of whether "temple" refers to a Jewish Synagogue or a Hindu Mandir, there are none legally registered in Saudi Arabia. Since Saudi Arabia has effectively banned Jews from being in Saudi Arabia, there are likely no hidden synagogues. However, there are an estimated 390,000 Hindus in Saudi Arabia and some of their hidden mandirs have been discovered (and looted by Saudi police). Of course, there are no numbers of how many hidden mandirs there are since they are hidden.

3.Colored glass has been produced since ancient times.

"In Early Christian churches of the 4th and 5th centuries there are many remaining windows which are filled with ornate patterns of thinly-sliced alabaster set into wooden frames, giving a stained-glass like effect. Evidence of stained glass windows in churches and monasteries in Britain can be found as early as the 7th century. The earliest known reference dates from 675 CE when Benedict_Biscopimported workmen from France to glaze the windows of the monastery of St Peter which he was building at Monkwearmouth."
