Didn't see the middle east, but I have lived at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. The dust there is a fine, gypsum sand that is almost like talcum powder... stuff got into everything. I didn't have an AR back then, but dust cover or not, I guarantee that stuff would get inside the rifle if it wasn't hermetically sealed.
