Middle Eastern corridors split into two patterns: GCC countries (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman) act primarily as senders, while Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen receive. Lebanon's banking crisis means most providers now route USD cash via OMT or BoB Finance; Egypt favours CIB and NBE bank accounts.
