I've been corrected for just calling it The Gulf, but I'd say the Saudis are getting used to the term.

The rector mentions proximity to India and China. I mentioned in another thread the fantasy of attracting Chinese students to the Middle East. I know the Chinese pretty well, and not many will want to come to the ME for their degree no matter who's offering.
