Arab Gulf countries



Gulf countries are mainly the main oil rich countries in the Middle East which are all concentrated on Asia side not in North Africa. Persian Gulf countries are mainly Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman, sometimes Yemen is included. In terms of entering those countries, most of them have a separate line for Persian Gulf countries that speed up their process for entering the countries and it is similar in a way to the European Union in terms of the separate extra line available for EU members countries who enter faster in European countries.
