The dialect spoken in Saudi Arabia is generally classified as Najdi Arabic or Hijazi. Here's an overview of some of the most prominent features of the accent:
Interdental Sounds (ث, ذ, ظ). While many Arabic dialects, especially in urban centers or in the Levant and Egypt, might pronounce these interdental sounds as [s], [z], and [z] respectively, many Saudis, especially in formal contexts, maintain the traditional interdental pronunciations [θ], [ð], and [ðˤ].
Pronunciation of "J" (ج). In Najdi, it's pronounced as [g], while in the Hijaz region, it's more like the [ʒ] as in the English word "measure".
Emphasis (Tafkhim). This accent has a rich system of emphatic consonants. Sounds like [sˤ], [dˤ], [tˤ], and [ðˤ] are more emphatic than their counterparts in some other dialects.
