Overseas Military Bases: 21

According to Brookings, Saudi Arabia has developed 20 military bases and outposts in Al Mahrah Governorate since the beginning of 2017 as part of the kingdom’s consolidation in Yemen’s strategic eastern regions. In 2021, Djibouti also reached an agreement with Riyadh to build a military base in the country, which is now operational. With at least 21 foreign military installations, Saudi Arabia in no time now finds itself among countries with the most overseas military bases.
