Deske--
Personally lived and worked in the ME for over twenty years, and was always treated with respect...and did likewise.
If you have a job offer...take it, providing the cash and conditions are to your liking.
Who knows, you may actually enjoy it.
Yes, the cash isn't what it used to be, but hey, the same can be said for many other areas.
Go with the flow...for the least 'problems'.
OTOH, don't expect a rose garden either
Life is a challange, and those who never accept the challange generally live to regret it, later on.
