How The Gulf Region Changed In The Past Century by gare(f): 1:07pm On Mar 12, 2018
It's usually baffling to see the changes any region goes through over a short span of time, especially when the progress materializes in photos.

The Khaleej (Gulf) alone has witnessed unprecedented developments over the course of a century that will make you restore your faith in human determination and vision.

From completely uninhabited deserts in the pits of nowhere to futuristic cities, and indispensable economies and cultures to nowadays' world.

Take a look at how the region man-made its way to the top:

No matter how much they diversify, their economy will never be like it is now. They have zero natural resources other than oil. Their land is extremely poor and cannot support agriculture and their educational and literacy standards are below the UNESCO benchmark.
