Saudis

Mecca's native people

Saudis are people from Saudi Arabia, the kingdom occupying most of the Arabian Peninsula.

The word functions as both noun and adjective: Saudi citizens, the Saudis announced new oil production cuts.

Saudi alone can work the same way, though Saudis emphasizes the people rather than the government or nation: Many Saudis work in the oil industry.
