STC/Al Jawal offer a pre paid service.
Top up card are available everywhere, and network coverage is pretty good.
However, to get a Sim card you will need passport copies, one off payments and letters from your employers.
You will soon notice that in this region you can do nothing without a ton of paperwork !!
