Dubai and other locations in the Middle East are the current hot spot for people looking for international work. Apart from the booming metropolis of Dubai, locations such as Abu Dhabi and Qatar are also experiencing similar booms. These three locations, plus Bahrain and Oman, are commonly considered the main expat centres and are all family friendly. In all of the locations there are large western expat communities, with a good social scene, crime free and friendly. To work in any of these locations, you will need to find employment and be sponsored by an employer. Types of projects in these locations are varied, but there is a large amount of very interesting major projects, such as The Palm Islands, as well as many high rise towers. There are also marine, road and infrastructure projects, but these are not as common as the large building schemes. Salaries in these locations are free of local income tax.

In other parts of the Middle East, such as Iran, Iraq and Saudi, positions are now more commonly become single status locations. Projects in these locations are often heavy civil engineering and related to the petrochemical industry or else government or World Bank funded development projects.
