I know the middle East is big and diverse and this question is a bit vague. But I have always wanted to visit a middle eastern country. Im really interested in Persian/Arabic culture and esthetics and it's one of the regions I've never had the chance to explore. Now that I only have my thesis left to finish my studies, I have a window of a few months that I can spend abroad.
I'm looking for a country that has generally chill people and laws. For example, I'd love to see Saudi Arabia, but from what I hear about the laws there I wouldn't enjoy spending a longer while there. Also, I'm looking for a country that's relatively cheap. I'd be living of my student loan which is around 900 dollars per month.
Thanks in advance for any tips!

Meet Mohammed bin Abdul-Karim Al-Issa, the public face of Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman’s version of moderate Islam.
A 54-year old former justice minister, Mr. Al-Issa, one of a younger generation of Islamic scholars willing to do Prince Mohammed’s bidding, has been doing the rounds internationally and making all the right moves to project the de facto Saudi leader as the spearhead of efforts to counter ultra-conservatism at home, fight political and militant Islam across the globe and promote the crown prince as a tolerant leader bent on fostering inter-faith dialogue.
Mr. Al-Issa’s moves also serve to strengthen ties with US President Donald J. Trump’s Evangelist voter base and shape an environment that legitimizes Saudi Arabia’s close cooperation with Israel.
