Hello people in the middle east or use to be in the middle east. I making this Thread to gather as much information as I can about rhythm base arcade games in the middle east. So far I had updated and added a few cabs that are in Kuwait. I am still looking around for more in Kuwait there are a few hidden arcades I didn't visit yet. I am hoping this thread could lead me to other arcades that are either in Kuwait or in other countries around me.

Hello there, gianthero!
For almost five years, I worked in Qatar. From there, I was able to at least create some arcade locations that had rhythm games. Qatar doesn't have a shortage of arcades per se, but locations that have rhythm games (mostly Pump, but one location has a 7th Mix and had a Euromix 2) and are not marked as "Family Areas" (no bachelors allowed) are rare. Also taxis are rare and gypsy/illegal taxi prices are very expensive so getting around on my day offs was hard before Uber and Careem came along.
It's likely gone by now, but a Facebook friend of mine stumbled upon a European DDR X cabinet in Dubai a few years back, although I don't know if the machine still exists there. We just need a few more people who can scope out arcades and we will have more arcade entries for the Middle East.
