Which six countries are the six Gulf countries?

The so-called "six Gulf countries" refer to the six Arab countries adjacent to the Gulf, namely the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

1, UAE

Located in the east of Arabian Peninsula, bordering the Persian Gulf in the north, Qatar in the northwest, Saudi Arabia in the west and south, Oman in the east and northeast, with a coastline of 734 kilometers and the capital Abu Dhabi. The local residents of UAE are Arabs, and most of them believe in Islam. The United Arab Emirates is a desert country in West Asia, famous for its oil production and the reputation of "flowers in the desert".

2. Oman

A country in western Asia on the southeast coast of Arabia. It guards the the Strait of Hormuz between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman and is the most important oil export channel in the world. Oman began to exploit oil in the 1960s. Although it is rich in natural resources, it is still a relatively rich Arab country because of its late economic start, weak economic foundation and relatively slow development.

3. Bahrain

It is an island country near the west coast of the Persian Gulf, and Bahrain is the largest island in Bahrain. Saudi Arabia is located in the west of Bahrain and can be connected by King Fahd Bridge. Iran is located in the north of Bahrain; Qatar peninsula is located in the southeast of Bahrain Bay. Bahrain is the first Persian Gulf country to enter the post-oil economy. At present, Bahrain's economy is not dependent on oil. Since the end of the 20th century, Bahrain has invested a lot of money in banking and tourism. Manama, the capital of the country, is home to large financial institutions at home and abroad.

4. Qatar

A peninsular country located in the eastern part of Arabian Peninsula, most of its territory is surrounded by Persian Gulf, and only its southern territory borders Saudi Arabia. Because of its rich oil resources, Qatar has become one of the richest countries in the world. Although its human development index is high and its citizens are extremely rich, it still cannot be regarded as a developed country because of its underdeveloped industry and manufacturing industry.

5. Kuwait

It is a constitutional monarchy country, located in the northeast of Arabian Peninsula and the northwest of Persian Gulf in West Asia. Kuwait City, the capital of the country, has the same name as the country. Kuwait is rich in oil and natural gas resources, with proven oil reserves of 94 billion barrels, accounting for 10% of the world's total reserves, ranking fourth in the world. Therefore, the oil and gas industry is the pillar of the national economy, and its output value accounts for 45% of GDP.

6. Saudi Arabia

A veritable "oil kingdom", with the largest oil reserves and output in the world, is one of the richest countries in the world. Saudi Arabia pursues a free economic policy. Mecca is the birthplace of Muhammad, the founder of Islam, and a holy place for Muslims to make pilgrimages. Petroleum and petrochemical industry is the lifeline and main economic source of the national economy. However, its restrictions on women's rights make it the only country in the world that does not allow women to drive cars.
