Victor is very correct with these bank warnings.
If you get a job in the UAE avoid the credit from the banks if you can.
If you do take, pay it off ASAP.
I know many that jobs went south and they had to leave the UAE owing money, car loans credit cards etc.
If you ever return there they will detain you until the money is paid, even if on a layover with another airline.
Not just your bank but many different banks will be calling you to offer loans credit etc.
I think that about 50 percent of my last company thought this was a good deal. got in debt and had to leave.
Now if they ever go back there big problems.
Things can change quickly, best to use cash and stay away from the banks unless its very short term.
We all thought Midex was a long term thing also.
Remember some saying well my end of contract service will pay off anything I owe with the banks,
They never payed that and cheated us all also.
