Gross rental yields in Morocco are almost unchanged on previous years.  Yields are generally rather acceptable.  In Casablanca, yields range from 6.4% to 9.2% for apartments, but are much lower (as might be expected) for houses, at 4.6%.  

In Marrakech, as in all previous years, we were unable to get enough data to offer numbers for yields on riads.  However, apartments in Marrakech offer acceptable yields at between 6.2% and 7.6%. 

The prices of Marrakech riads continue to mount. This year saw riads prices definitively breach the US$3,000 per square metre barrier. for all riad sizes, with the very smallest riad size category reaching US$4,000 per square metre.

You are assuming that everyone uses the term "Middle East" in exactly the same way. However, this is not the case. Please see the useful Wikipedia discussion of the term "Middle East".
