One thing to keep in mind, alfalfa is native to Iran. That should end any questions on its heat and drought tolerance. Alfalfa is grown in many parts of the Middle East. Saudi Arabia is a major alfalfa producer.

Just select areas with a deep, well-drained soil, and alfalfa will grow with the proper soil fertility.
