    Turkey is considered part of Europe here so shouldnt Saudi Arabia be darker shade of blue because of the Ottomans?

      Depending on your definition of “Colonized or Controlled”, the Ottomans never completely conquered what is today Saudi Arabia - they conquered Hejaz and parts of the Gulf province but never (as far as I am aware) Najd and other parts of the center and south.
