The gulf region is actually very fond of kissing cousins.

Traditional tribal approaches to the marriage of cousins have seen the gulf region have very high rates of cousin marriage.

As an example, the kingdom of Saudi Arabia has the highest rates of consanguinity (marrying family members) in the world
