Arab Web Use

Your Middle East has some interesting bullets on Arab web use.  Here are my favorites:

2.  MENA is home to the most active country in the world on Twitter. Can you guess which it is? Saudi Arabia. Interestingly, all of the top 5 countries – in terms of user penetration – are non-English speaking. Mashable has a nice chart showing who the other countries are, and where the leading English language countries sit in this list.

8.  The fabulously named Netbiscuits note the UAE is home to some of the heaviest mobile web users in the world.  37% are on the mobile web for 6+ hours a day.

14.  Nearly a third (30%) of Egyptian adults play online games, with over one in five households (21.9%) owning gaming consoles.
