Middle East

Anyone out there based in the Middle East? I am in Dubai and would love to get to know some more people going through this same journey in the area.

Reach out!

How about a part time Middle East worker. Oil field worker here, that spends half the year in the east and half back home in the US. Currently in Saudi trying to get to that oil, but have spent many months in Sharja, Dubai, & Abu Daubi.

Hey hey! nice to "meet you". Where about's in Saudi are you? I am based in Dubai but originally from the UK.

Damamn and Kafjhi usually. Mainly I'm offshore, Damamn is where we fly into and Kafjhi is the port we leave out of.

Im moving to Saudi next year, I want to be as successful in this as possible....is there great doctors that I could go to for follow ups? I know it's a big country but I will be in Dhahran. Always worried if I'd have people out there who would relate to what I'd be going through. Surgery is scheduled for next month...moving in January.
