The best projection for Saudi Arabia is the
Rectified Skew Orthomorphic projection devised by
Mr. Tony Cavell.  I have "cc'ed" him with this
message.  I recommend that you contact Mr. Cavell
directly for the parameters and details.  It is my
understanding that the Saudi RSO is used by the
National Utility Company.  Of course, he is one of
my past graduate students.  :-)
