One of the largest economies in the world, the UAE is a country that is well known across the globe as a rising hub of international investment. It is landlocked at the eastern end of the Arabian Peninsula and shares borders with Oman and Saudi Arabia. The capital city of Abu Dhabi is known for its high-end shopping malls, luxury hotels, and marinas. In terms of currency exchange, the UAE is one of the largest exporters, with Dubai being the most famous city of the country in terms of tourism, this means that the value of the currency of the UAE, the dirham, increases as more people come from other parts of the world.
Saudi Arabia is a Middle Eastern country, situated near the equator and bordered by Iraq, Kuwait and Jordan to its north, Qatar and the UAE to the East and Oman and Yemen to the south. Located on the Arabian Peninsula, this is the third largest exporter of goods, with oil being the primary source of income and wealth of the nation. The top countries supplied by Saudi Arabia include the United States, India and China, with the Saudi government making sure it is producing enough oil to meet the needs of its own citizens.
On top of this, they also produce many items the rest of the world uses, such as cars and electronics. One of the biggest corporations in the country is Aramco, which produces oil and natural gas for sale across the globe. The country has many things to do and see, like its beautiful beaches, desert, and mountains. However, the most famous thing about the nation is, as mentioned, the vast amount of wealth from the oil it produces, making Saudi Arabia one of the best places to invest in the Middle East.

Kuwait is another oil-rich nation. Their economy is based on oil and natural gas exports, with their primary export being crude oil. The country has very little tourism; and expats have recently had limitations on how long they can stay for business. Although the main industry is oil, Kuwait does have a large amount of agriculture and livestock.
Located in the southeast part of the region, where the Gulf of Oman meets the Indian ocean. With its main export also being gas and oil, the country more recently relies heavily on tourism and construction, both industries that make up a lot of its revenue.
Bahrain, which is located to the north of Qatar, has been an ally of the United States since its founding, and it is also a member of OPEC, which is the organization that sets the world price of oil. The main industries in the country, besides being a huge gas and oil exporter, are agriculture, fishing, and construction. However, there are many museums and tourist attractions, which make the country a great place to visit if you are a fan of history.

As we have seen, the countries in the Middle East are extremely wealthy; they produce a variety of goods that are in high demand and can be bought in the global market at a fair price. This leads to a huge demand for money in the region, and as such many wealthy individuals and companies invest in the Middle East. They can purchase high-quality currency, buy real estate, and invest in the stock market.
In addition, the oil industry is one of the largest industries in the world, so it makes sense that the currency of an oil-producing country is highly valued and traded. Many Middle Eastern countries have a highly developed banking system and are able to process payments quickly. Therefore, they can obtain the best rates for their currency and make their money grow. Even though the price of the various currencies in the Middle East may experience fluctuation, as far as the end customer is concerned due to the world's continued dependence on fossil fuels, they are still relatively stable and easy to trade.
