A decent map which expands the game more.
It's a huge map, of course most of it is sea and desert but the main cities like Abu Dhabi or Dubai are well detailed. It's a joy to fly low over cities. But other than that you'll be seeing desert all over the place, empty, desolate desert with some targets stationed somewhere.
It also opens up the custom missions possibilities. Iran, UAE, Oman is a playground for potential military events to be created.
This map is also great for carrier ops so prepare your Hornets boys. Of course you can get your Tank Killer out of hangar and bomb some terrorists in a desert.

On graphical side it's decent. DCS runs on an old engine so don't expect miracles here or MSFS level graphics but the cities look really nice. Desert and mountains aren't so good. But it's a problem with all DCS maps. Sure those areas supposed to be bland in real life too but in DCS it lacks details, it looks pretty unrealistic, mountains especially.
There are some missions both freeware and payware. It's a nice change from Caucasus.

Is this worth buying? If you want to participate in conflicts in these areas sure it's worth it. But the asking price is too much for what it is. Outside cities there's nothing which means there wasn't much to model and there's nothing to justify the price. There also could be more countries, like you know Persian Gulf countries?


Pros

• Cities are nice
  
• Great for carrier ops

Cons

• Mostly desert with no objects
  
• Could include more cities/countries
  
• Too expensive
