Hello!

Well, apart from usability, I have Middle Eastern & Egyptian history as a
hobby of mine.. And have noticed that the rather common "decoration" tends
to end up on the right side of the page, instead of left, even if the text
is in English.
As an example: http://touregypt.net/ (Official site of the Egyptian Minsitry
of Tourism)
So, yes, I think it's likely a cultural thing.
