Currently £6170 a month including oversea's allowance. You also get three paid trips home and free housing if you are married. As for not touching this place with a barge pole? Well it most certainly is not the place for everyone. You put up with alot of S%&T from the locals, but that is why you are paid alot. It is not like it was a few years ago when you never knew if today was your last. Short term pain for long term gain. I do not regret coming here, but I will be glad when I step on the flight to home for the last time. I cannot tell you much about Kuwait but I do believe the package is not quite as much. Good bunch of guys here, great social life and 9-10 weeks of holidays a year
