      Hi MOZ, I have a site that is aimed at the English speaking market of the United Arab Emirates. The language tag is currently set to lang="en-GB" and the og:locale also set to en_GB.

      The domain is a .com and aimed at the whole world.

      Should I be trying to target en-AE and en_AE for these tags instead of GB?

        You should utilize og:locale:alternative and have og:locale set to the country you want to present it to. see details here.

        Overall, since its English in both scenarios, I don't think you need to worry about it.
