I did some searching and you're right that it is practiced in high amounts in the middle east however you also find the same in North Africa and parts of Asia (specifically the Indian subcontinent, parts of India and southeast Asia). You also see its practiced in smaller amounts around the world. Including Europe and South America as well some countries to a lesser extent in North America. I'll provide one source below but you can search for more.

It would be interesting to see cultural attitudes towards it around the world though.
