Reply to comment by ActiveLlama in Why are there deserts near the coast? How come they don't get more rain, despite being near to a large body of water with plenty of sun and evaporation? by milton117

I was thinking of the gulf states/Saudi Arabia. So is it fair to say they don't see much rain because the rain clouds fall in Iran instead?

Yes, that would be fair. If you check the prevailing winds from the north east, Iran, and the zagros mountains stops most of the humidity coming from there.
