In the Middle East URDU is an advantage in any sector.

a lot but by no means all labourers will be Urdu speakers so of course it will be another string to your bow.

It won't help though unless you have the level of experience they are looking for.

Its always an advantage to be able to communicate in different languages. And URDU is the second language in Dubai for instance. I guess it depends on where in the ME you are. My URDU would be somewhat useless a place like MORROCCO for instance.
