In the Middle East there are many different countries. There are poor and rich countries and there are countries which have a small area and population, like Qatar and Bahrain, and countries which have a big area and population, like Saudi and Oman. Muscat is the capital of Oman, Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE and Doha is the capital of Qatar. I am going to write about the similarities and differences between these countries.

There are some distinct similarities between Oman, UAE and Qatar. The first similarity is that all of them take the coffee and tea before and after meals. Another similarity is that you should not use the left hand for shaking hands. You should use the right hand. Yet another similarity is that all of them are worried about Iran's nuclear program.

Although there are some similarities, there are also some differences. The first difference is the area. Oman has a big area, it is 309,500km2 and the UAE has a smaller area, it is 83,600km2, but Qatar is the smallest one and it is 11,586km2. Another difference is the currency. In Oman they use the Omani rial, in the UAE they use the Emirati dirham and in Qatar they use the Qatari rial. Yet another difference is the flag. The flag of Oman features three horizontal stripes of white, red, and green and one vertical stripe of red on the left-hand side, the flag of the United Arab Emirates features three horizontal stripes—green, white, and black—and one vertical stripe of red on the left side, and the flag of Qatar is dark red with a white jagged panel on the left side.

Overall the similarities outweigh the differences. All these countries are good places and have very friendly relations.
