I worked there for about 5 years a few years back.
They are no worse, and no better than any other company in the ME/ Africa.
Inflation seems to be a big problem over there now, which will eat into your income, so a decent wage may become tighter thethan first thought.
Wx is mostly VMC, but heat haze is prevalent for all summer and reduces vis. at times to 1/2 mile.
People are generally friendly, but the locals can appear abit arrogant, and the local pilots, well, what I would like to say and what I can say are pretty far apart.
All in all, you can enjoy yourself for a couple of years, and then plan to move on.

Cheers
