AH Challenge: Arab Federation

With a POD no earlier than January 1st, 1900, have a functioning Arab Federation by the end of the century. Details (on borders) are up to you. However, it should contain at least (modern-day) Saudi Arabia, Oman, Yemen, the UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain.
 
Maybe if the British back the Hashemites in Arabia instead of leaving them out to dry, then the pro-British Arabian regime will be able to federally incorporate those holdings (Kuwait, Qatar, UAE) as the British withdraw. Yemen and Oman are a little harder, as those nations actually have, you know, national identities, but it might still be doable.

Simple.Have the Ottomans back the Rashidis to the full early on and wipe out the Saudis and the Kuwaities, and from there its a cake-walk.

But would the Ottomans want to boost a vassal that much? They've already got the Egyptian Khedives as a bad example of vassals who got too big for their britches.
