Little more than two decades ago, it would have been rare to hear about an international person moving to the Gulf States in the Middle East. But over the past few years, the foreign population in the region has soared.

A construction boom in the Gulf countries has provided lucrative job opportunities for thousands of Indian construction workers whose experience is highly sought after. Rapidly expanding ex-pat populations in these regions have created a need for other workers across a range of other industries too, from finance to education and healthcare.

Tax-free salaries are no doubt the biggest incentive for International workers, with most employers offering packages which also include an accommodation allowance, health insurance, school fees, and a return flight home every year.
