somethings better left unsaid ...
afaik, you can't export from the US to elsewhere. In fact, when I bought my MB, I had to sign a form that I could not ship my car overseas.
Only if the car is a certain age and certain mileage can you export.
ps., "Gulf Spec?" I'd think that living in the US deserts would be similar. Palm Springs in the Mojave is super hot as is parts of the Sonoran desert in Arizona. And Las Vegas, etc.. In fact, the Mojave is where car mfg test cars.

Body, drivetrain, most components are the same. Software, etc. can be different. In the US, safety (DOT) and environmental (EPA) rules require certain changes in body and motor, exhaust, etc., Some models are not available in all geographic regions. Options are not the same in all geographic regions.
New cars that are sold outside of dealerships are gray market cars. In the US, it's difficult to impossible to legally register a gray market car (difficulty depends on the State one lives in, of course.)
Gray market exists with just about all commodities. Manufacturers try to control gray market activity (in order to control global pricing and sales) through warranties, official dealer networks, authorized sellers, etc..
