Read Bernard Lewis, world expert on middle eastern studies, and he will give you proof of a Jewish presence in the Arabian peninsula for hundreds of years since the expulsion of the Jews from the 1st Temple (around 422 B.C.E.), where many were taken as slaves into Babylon (modern day Iraq). Jewish tribes (I know of one, called the Quraishe) existed in peace with Beduin Arab tribes for centuries. They traded and had mutual commerce.

With the rise of Mohammad, in the 7th century, he believed he was a prophet and was mocked by the Jewish tribes. He fomented a plan and when the Jewish tribes were asleep, he entered with his men and butchered (exterminated) every man, woman and child and animal of the Quraishe tribe and other tribes as well. He was a butcher, a child molester, a gangster who exacted fees from his own people (extortion) in order for them to hold land, own businesses, etc.

Since Saudi Arabia is now "Judenrein," (an example of racism to the purest degree), no one can go and look for ancient Mikvahs and synagogues and artifacts to prove the former existence of the Jewish tribes. But Mecca is the area in which the Jewish tribes lived. Bernard Lewis can tell it a lot better than I can.
