Can anyone advise on the job prospects in the middle east for F/O's in a corporate flight department. I am low time (approaching 1600 tt, 500tt SIC Jet ICAO ATPL). I have searched, and there are quiet alot of corporate operators in the region , however is my experience enough? Thanks for the replies in advance.

Most of the corporate jobs in the ME require considerable experience. However keep trying and build your experience. Saudi ARAMCO has a large corporate flight department. They have 737's, DHC-8's DHC-6's, Hawkers, Citation etc.
If you have experience in any of these it might help. However the last I checked they needed 4000-5000 hrs total time. Good luck. Also look into executivejets international.

Agree with the above post. I had just at 10,000 hours when first going to Saudi and then returned last year, having about 14,000+ hours.

They want experience and usually a type on the bird you are flying. Not mandatory but it makes it easier.
