The current rulers of Jordan, Bahrain, Qatar, and Oman all attended The Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, and many send their sons there. The BBC offers a nice piece on the British connection: "Sandhurst's sheikhs: Why do so many Gulf royals receive military training in the UK?" [Link corrected.]
Former French colonies (plus Iran) have seemed to favor Saint-Cyr over Sandhurst.
