I've never seen a definitive list but what's in and what's out has been worked out by FTers over the years.

What's in:
  • all the countries in the Saudi peninsula, including Israel
  • Egypt and Sudan
  • Libya (IIRC included only since the Europe and ME zones were defined for the rule on two visit to Europe)

What's out:
  • Turkey (as Gardyloo said, it's counted as part of Europe even though most of the country is geographically part of Asia)

What's not known:
  • Iran (before QR joined OW. no OW airlines flew there)
