    In the 600s, the Africans settled in Saudi Arabia by the Arab Slave Trade, and this impacted the ethnicities, language and religion. About 9.85 million Africans were shipped out as slaves to Arabia. Most slaves were women because the Europeans would treat women slaves as concubines living in harems, rarely as wives, so their children became free, which changed Saudi Arabia's ethnicity.
