There is also a possibility that a percentage of [[People of Nepal|Nepalese]] immigrants also help make up the estimated 8 million foreign residents in Saudi Arabia.<br /> <br /> This amount of foreign inhabitants makes about 1.5% of Saudi Arabia&#039;s population Buddhists, or around 400,000 nominal Buddhists, most likely giving Saudi Arabia the largest Buddhist community in the [[Buddhism in the Middle East|Middle East]] or [[Arab World]].<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Index of Buddhism-related articles]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> The US State Department&#039;s International Religious Freedom Report 2007 - Saudi Arabia [https://2001-2009.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2007/90220.htm]<br /> <br /> {{Buddhism-stub}}<br /> {{Saudi-stub}}<br /> <br /> {{Asia in topic|Buddhism in}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Buddhism by country|Saudi Arabia]]<br /> [[Category:Religion in Saudi Arabia]]<br /> [[Category:Sinhalese people]]</div>
