The following submission statement was provided by /u/darth_nadoma:

While not as consistent as north-west Europe, there are excellent wind
resources in the MENA region. Southern Morocco, the areas around the
Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba in Egypt, Jordan and north-west Saudi Arabia,
southern Egypt and the south-east coast of Oman are all very windy.
Parts of Libya, southern Tunisia, the Algerian Sahara, inland Iran and
Kuwait also have strong winds. In contrast to much of Europe, the region
has wide-open spaces where wind farms are not blocked by community
opposition.
