I have a very strange question about washers, dryers and the Middle East. - eviltoast

I was having a chat with some friends and we were talking about how, in the U.S. at least, washers are usually on the left and dryers on the right and why that might be. Someone pointed out that we wash first and then we dry. But then someone else pointed out that we are sort of primed to think in left-to-right terms already since that’s the direction in which we read. So here is my question:

Are washers usually on the right and dryers on the left in the Middle East?

    I know you didn’t ask me, but since I’m the OP, it doesn’t even matter in our case. It could be in either order. The washer opens at the top with a flip up door and the dryer opens from the front with a flip down door.
