Most dangerous ME countries to work in
Just from the other thread was interested in the perceptions people had on this. In my mind (and including North Africa):
Excluding Iran
- Syria
- Iraq
- Libya
- Yemen
- Algeria
- Lebanon
- Egypt
- Bahrain
Excluding Iran

UAE
Saudi
Qatar
Kuwait
Oman
Tunisia
Morocco
Israel
So there are more "most dangerous" countries than the rest. Sounds about right.

Re: Most dangerous ME countries to work in
pretty much spot on. I'd even say Iran was actually fairly safe so long as you avoid any demos and election season

Not sure where Gaza fits in, but it's not a place I would like to work in.

Is there a more volatile / dangerous region in the world?
West Africa?
North Africa (if you wish to separate?)

Re: Most dangerous ME countries to work in
depends where you are, felt fine in Kurdistan but wouldn't fancy Basra
wouldn't fancy being in Egypt right this minute
and would rather face a hint of danger than be in KSA

The news would have you believe the whole country is being torn apart.

I also forgot Jordan, but given the number of engineers, "engineers" and pointy-shoed waiters in Dubai alone, there's not anyone left working back there, either.

Jordan is a great place. I know a few westerners there (running the airport) - they love it.

Lebanon? seriously?
Millhouse - your friends are "running the airport"?! wow. I don't think they should admit that in public! It's awful! even the new one!
