This bar chart shows us how long a cleaner should work in McDonalds before he can afford to buy a Big Mac, in eleven Asian/ Pacific countries. In addition, it shows the exact cost of a Big Mac in US dollars, in the different countries.
The most noticeable point in the chart is that in South and East Asian countries (Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka and China) the workers have the longest working hours in order to be able to afford a Big Mac. The working hours in those countries are between 4 to 14 hours. In the richer countries such as Australia, Hong Kong and New Zealand the cleaners have the least working hours according to this chart. In those countries the Big Mac costs less than one dollar. Whereas in the poorer countries like Pakistan, South Korea and Sri Lanka the Big Mac costs more than one US dollar.
To sum up, there is a big difference between the working hours in the poorer and the richer countries. According to the working hours the ability of buying a Big Mac sandwich differs.

Number of Guests in Dubai Hotel
These two charts, the bar and the pie, show us the number of Dubai hotel guests in different region in 1993-2002.
Until 2001, there were no significant numbers of guests from Australia and the Pacific. Even in 2002, they accounted for less than 2% of the total. Over the period, the total number of hotel guests increased gradually from around 1M to over 4M. The number from each region, Europe, Asia, other GCC, other Arab, the UAE, Africa and America, also rose steadily. By 2002 over a quarter of hotel guests came from Europe. Over a fifth came from Asia, followed by other GCC with 20%. Just over 10% came from other Arab countries, with just over 6% from both the UAE and Africa. Guests from America comprised about 5% of the total
In conclusion, both the total number, and the numbers from each region, increased steadily 1993-2002.

Top Ten Date
The bar graph shows date production in tonnes for the world's top producers in 2001. Ten countries in the Gulf region and northern Africa are featured.
First, Egypt took the lion's share of production with over a million tones but Iran is a close second with almost 0.9 million. Following them came the UAE and Saudi Arabia, rivaling each other with about 740,000 tonnes each. Pakistan and Iraq, with outputs of approximately 630,000, were not far behind. The rest of the nations, however, were far less productive. Algeria supplied the world with nearly 400,000 tonnes and Oman around a quarter of a million. In contrast, harvests in Oman and countries in northern Africa are far less plentiful. Finally, Sudan's and Libya's crops yielded under 0.2 million each.
In summary, data production is the most abundant in Egypt and Iran. Overall, Egypt and Iran account for the majority of goods whilst Sudan and Libya are in the minority.
