Saudi Arabia

Unreached people groups

An overview of the country's people groups, focusing on those who still have little or no access to the gospel in their own language and culture.

Overview

Saudi Arabia has 57 distinct people groups, most of them Saudi Arabs (Najdi, Hijazi, and Gulf) along with communities of foreign workers from Asia. Of these 57 groups, 43 (75.4%) are still considered unreached with the gospel, representing 90.4% of the country's entire population. Saudi Arabs themselves, the majority people and devoted to Islam, remain among the least reached groups in the world.
