Hi Gabe ! Gulf countries will never give you citizenship unless your father is an Arab or b) a muslim; and that also under very special circumstances. For instance, in United Arab Emirates, the Dubai government gave many Tanzanians from Zanzibar whose fathers were Arabs- UAE nationality after the January 12 1964 Revolution which overthrew the Arab Sultanate. Most of these Arab fathers were from Oman. Some from Tanzania Mainland , whose fathers were from Yemen, also got nationality. Many Bangladeshis were also given UAE nationality in 1971 during the creation of Bangla Desh , and its seccession from Pakistan. Many other Indians like the Choitrams in the UAE and the "Lotya" group of Indians were also given nationality in Oman by the former princes and sheikhs as a token of appreciation for establishing an industrial and commercial before they knew that they an "El Dorado" in their oil reserves.
