The GDP per capita in the Middle ast has a direct relation with the amount of aid given by the United States. Quatar and UAE are two countries that are heavily financed by building corporations, in a to make a desert paradise.

 Israel recieves massive amounts of money from European and American jews, and in recent year the USA. The USA started to finance them after they showed their military might in the Six Day War. Israel also makes a lot of money off of weapons, as they are the third largest arms manufacturer in the world.

Saudi Arabi makes money off of their vast oil reserves, and is official chained to the USA's economic drive for oil.

Egypt's main industry is tourism. Unfortunately that industry has collasped with the fall of their pro-American dictator.

Jordan has recently discovered oil in the eastern part of the nation,but it is no where near the size of the Saudi reserve. Unfortunately for them, their main industry is tourism, which has taken a major hit after the Egypt crisis.

Kuwait is a nation the has a large oil reserve. This reserve drives their economy.

Lybia also has vast oil reserves. Their oil is traded to Europe for money and arms. To Europe's dismay, Lybia is in the middle of a civil war, which has stopped all trading with them.

 

 

The trend is that the countries that recieve lots of aid form Europe or the US have a higher GDP per capita, while the one that recieve little to none have a low GDP per capita.
