Hi Spinwing, too true, I started in Doha 77' for a quick stint-hated it, short stint in Nigeria-loved it, went to Dubai 78-80-loved it then went back to the 'Sand pit' in 2000 after many years away-Abu Dhabi 9 years-loved it, now Doha again for the last seven years-love/hate relationship, but love it really, Dubai now?-hate it, but lots of friends there that make me drive down every now and again through Saudi-good fun.
