I live in the Persian Gulf region and I often hear that this region is suitable for solar power generation. What measures are critical to knowing whether a region is suitable for solar power? Is the UV index a good gauge? What about cloud cover and dust cover?

You need to have lots of direct sunlight and weather must be cool for maximum efficiency and long life of Solar PV.
