    B) England             D) United States
     
    Answer: A) 
     
    King Khalid International Airport is located about 21.75 miles north of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and is 91 square miles. KKIA was designed by the architechtural firm HOK. The airport includes the terminals, mosque, the control tower and two parallel runways, each 4200 meters long. It has been constructed to meet the increasing international and local air transport requirements for Riyadh region. The design of KKIA Mosque is one of the most distinct landmarks in the airport by virtue of its Islamic architecture. It can accommodate 5,000 worshipers inside and another 5,000 in the plaza outside. Its location in the center of the passenger terminal establishes it as the most important structure on the airport and makes it the first sight visitors see as they leave the arrival area.
