Normally when people think the Middle East, their minds immediately think of sand, camels, and pyramids. I don't understand what it is with people who insist that the Middle East is like that. However contemporary stereotypes include people saying that we have massive amounts of oil, which is essentially true. Among the top ten largest proven oil reserves in the world, six of the nations are located in the Middle East.
Lots of people know how much wealth oil can bring in, seeing that oil is the main cause of the industrial boom going on throughout nations such as Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. So with information like this in mind, people tend to show some hostility towards the Middle East. It doesn't really matter what people say, I just hope that these economies that have oil and petroleum make good use of the money they get from it and not just spend it on useless things.
People seem to think that oil is all that's available in the Middle East. However there are plenty of other natural resources found in this region. Resources such as natural gas, gold, plenty of forests, and very large mines. Saudi Arabia possesses eighteen percent of the entire world's total oil, Iran and Qatar posses 17% and 13% of the entire world's total natural gas reserves, respectively. Egypt has plenty of cotton and natural gas as well and Jordan contains close to three percent of the entire world's total uranium share.
In fact, the Middle East is ridden with plenty of natural resources. Why else do you think there are plenty of nations in the past and in the present that want to occupy the Middle East? Oil is their first goal, then comes natural gas, and gold. These resources seem to drive nations apart and manage to conjure massive wars that in the end lead to nothing beneficial.
I hope that the Middle Eastern nations make good use of their natural resources that they have. The could potentially be self sustained if they choose to use them right, especially of their use is efficient. The Middle East also seems to enjoy an adequate supply of water, whether it's from various seas or rivers, but nonetheless water is present.
