2000 dhs car allowance, or a brand new top of range honda civic .

3,500 accomodation allowance

laptop
1 return flight back to the uk

and medical insurance

minimum working hours of 44, unsocialble and long hours expected of me.

You will not get lots of experience here. Unfortunately, there are more incompetent people in the ME than competent ones, so chances are you will not get good experience here.

Very low salary - you will have to spend entire salary just to pay house rent
