{"Image ImageDescription": "SAUDI ARABIA - JUNE 01:  Yanbu Al Bahr - An industrial city to the north of Jeddah - A unit of the Saudi Aramco Mobil Refinery - This city is run and promoted by the Royal Commission of Jubail and Janbu and is in the process of developing an entirely new autonomous city in an isolated area of the desert - The goal being to attract foreign investors and industry in an attempt to diversify the oil and chemical industries stemming from the exploitation of Saudi oil reserves - 20 years earlier, there existed only a tiny village in this arid zone - The city was created following a royal decree in 1975 to open the industry onto the Red Sea - The major problem being the production of a safe drinking water supply (desalination, cooling and irrigation) - The desalinization unit produces 2 million cubic meters of water per 24 hours and 600 cubic meters of drinking water per day in Yanbu Al Bahr, Saudi Arabia in June, 2002.
