Have you tried googling it at least? You may find info there about how long it'd take for your husband to join you

Trying to find them here could be a bit of a challenge...

If only M&S expanded across the globe.

You've given superficial reasons for choosing Gibraltar. What do you both do for a living? Are there job opportunities in Gibraltar for you both?

I know nothing about Visas from Arab countries, but it seems to me that the first thing to do is get your OH to obtain an exit Visa, if possible to cover the whole of the EU. While he's acquiring one which will allow him to reside in the UK and anywhere in the EU, you should sort out how you're both going to make a living wherever you decide to live. Post again with info on your respective professions and some one will tell you whether you've got a chance of getting jobs. IMHO that's more important than asking how long you'll have to wait for your OH to join you (which no one can answer, anyway...)
