[Oman-L] Saudi citizenship/GCC citizenship

[Omar Ahmad Al Taariq]

As salaam 3alaikum wa ra7matullah:

I have a question that has been bugging me for quite some time. I am an ethnic
Arab Muslim living in the USA and I have always wondered if a child born in a
country like Saudi Arabia is automatically a citizen.
If not, what does it take for a person born in Saudi Arabia to get citizenship
and what is the difference between a Saudi national and a Saudi citizen if there
is any. Another question is: Since I have noticed that there is a lot of black
Omanis, I am pretty sure that Oman has always been known as a place for people
coming from different places like Omanis from Zanzibari descent for example. My
question is: How integrated are the black Omanis into the society, are they
primarily seen as "immigrants" or do they have their own Omani identity? What
about black Arabs in countries like Saudi Arabia and 
the UAE? I truly appreciate any honest reply on this

Jazakhallah khair
