The report, produced under U.N. supervision using Gallup data, showed the United Arab Emirates as the highest ranked country in the region at 21st globally, followed by Saudi Arabia in 22nd place, Kuwait in 40th, then Bahrain and Oman.
Globally, Finland topped the ranking, ahead of Iceland and Denmark. Costa Rica placed fourth, followed by Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Israel, Luxembourg and Switzerland.
Morocco scored 4.646 out of 10 in life evaluation, with GDP per capita identified as the largest contributing factor at about 30 percent, followed by freedom at 18 percent.
The report also highlighted weaker results in social support and generosity, alongside rising inequality and a gradual increase in negative feelings since 2010, despite a modest improvement in overall life evaluation.
