Hi all, If you look up Father's Day in Wikipedia (which is apparently the source of the dates on this page), it does include many of the countries which are missing from here, including the Arab world. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but at least for my country and a few others that I know of, the dates given are correct. All the best!
