• Burial practices (MyEnd) - Article about ancient and modern burial practices in Saudi Arabia. Currently, Wahhabism is widely practiced which discourages the worship of people who are deceased and results in individuals (Kings and citizens alike) to be buried in public cemeteries with a single, unmarked stone. See this article on Wahhabism for further reading.

• Hill Museum and Manuscript Library (HMML) - database of historical records searchable by country, many of them religious documents from Christian communities in the Middle East
