There are few places where Muslim women "have to" wear hijab, or head scarf. Most Muslim women wear the hijab of choice in accordance to the verse in the Quran in which God tells women to cover themselves (33:59). They do this out of modesty and obedience to God.

1) Muslims a woman should keep her hair covered if she is outside of her home, or if there are men who are not her relatives present. Since most of the Middle East is Muslim, most women over there wear veils.

2) Most Muslim nations have laws requiring the wearing of veils, or worse. Some actually require a full burqa (a garmet that covers everything but the eyes.)

3) Some of this is also tradition. Islam has gone back and forth on the question of how much of her face/body a woman must cover. Many nations in the Middle East only require that women wear a scarf over their hair, some require the full burqa. At different times, the rules have changed for different areas.

________________________________________________________________

Majority of Muslim women in the Middle East don't wear veils that cover all body including face and hands. Per Islam religion rules, Muslim women are required to wear Hijab that covers head, hair, and neck but not covering face and hands. Wearing veils in some place is due to local traditions and customs and not due to religious obligations.
