FaceTime wasn’t allowed in the Middle East for a while

But why?

No idea. Could be encryption or to protect telecom companies interests, WiFi calling means bundles need to change.

Most providers are government owned.

Edit: WhatsApp calling is still blocked in the GCC. Users there mostly use Snapchat as an alternative.
