00:00I am going to tell you about Damam City, which is located in Saudi Arabia.

00:04And how was this city before oil was discovered in this city?

00:08And why did the British refuse to help Saudi Arabia?

00:11Despite the prohibition of gambling, a lot of gambling is done here for camels and horses.

00:16Damam City is located in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia,

00:19whose borders are with Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Yemen and the United Arab Emirates.

00:25While on the inside of Damam are Riyadh and Fukran.

00:28Damam is the most developed city in Saudi Arabia and has a special place in the world due to its industry.

00:35This city is also known as Al-Damam.

00:38Friends, before the discovery of oil, Saudi Arabia was a very poor country.

00:42For the first time in 1908, oil was discovered near Damam Mosque in the mountains of northwestern Fars.

00:48From there, the fate of Saudi Arabia changed.

00:50Friends, let me tell you one more thing here that

00:53when Saudi Arabia appealed to the British for help in this distance,

00:56the British not only refused to help, but even said that who knows Saudi Arabia.

01:03After a few years, Saudi Arabia's reputation will end in the world.

01:07Then after that, oil wells were dug in Damam City first.

01:11Here the amount of oil was found to be very low.

01:13The agreement to extract oil was made with an American company,

01:16which refused to extract oil.

01:18Later, Saudi Arabia's agreement was made with another company.

01:21On March 4, 1938, everything suddenly changed in Damam.

01:26On that day, oil began to come out of the oil well at a depth of 1.5 meters and 1,610 barrels per day.

01:34This is how Saudi Arabia got its first success due to Damam City.

01:38The world's largest oil reserves are found in the area of Damam.

01:42That is, 40% of the world's oil is present near Damam.
