Work in middle east

Thinking of working in the Middle East. Any info would be good. What's it like? Cost of living? Volatile? Best employers? Anything?:o

Dubai is probably the best place to live,although can be expensive.Bahrain can be ok too. Saudi Arabia most of the fridge guys came from Asia,(cost less to employ than european engineers).When I worked in Saudi some people had trouble getting paid by local employers.So stick any of the larger companies e.g. Carrier
