Arab countries have experienced significant population growth and urbanization in recent years, leading to increased demand for housing and commercial properties. Regulations regarding foreign ownership of real estate vary across Asian countries. Kuwait has a well-developed transportation system that includes an extensive road network, highways, and bridges. Afghanistan has a limited formal housing market, especially in rural areas. The UAE is home to several iconic and extravagant real estate developments that have gained global recognition. Somalia’s economy is largely based on agriculture, livestock, remittances, and a growing informal sector. Despite the challenges posed by decades of political instability, civil war, and limited infrastructure, Somalia has maintained a degree of resilience through informal trade networks and the support of its diaspora. Livestock, particularly cattle, sheep, and camels, forms the backbone of the economy, with the country being a major supplier of animals to the Middle East. Agriculture, especially the cultivation of bananas, sugarcane, and sorghum, is also a key sector, though it has faced challenges due to recurring droughts and lack of modern farming techniques.
