Moggie,
My advice to you is to get in touch with the guys out there, a lot of whom would rather be somewhere else right now - not much prospect of things changing for the better in the near future, especially if it's Riyadh you're considering.
In my opinion (having "served time' there myself) you'd have to be extremely hard up, greedy or just bloody stupid to go there with the way things are at the moment!
