Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding GCC Job Offers: What Every Expat Should Know
Moving to the Gulf for work is one of the biggest career decisions you'll make. The tax-free salary sounds incredible — but the real value of your offer depends on much more than the number on the contract. Housing, medical insurance, flights, gratuity structure, and legal compliance all play a critical role in your total compensation.
Each GCC country has its own labor law with specific requirements. Saudi Arabia's 2025 amendment now mandates separate housing and transport allowances. The UAE caps probation at 6 months and requires medical insurance in all emirates. Qatar requires a minimum of 21 days annual leave. Understanding these laws before you accept an offer is essential.
One of the most important — and often misunderstood — aspects of Gulf employment is the end-of-service gratuity. In the UAE, this is calculated on your basic salary only. In Saudi Arabia, it's based on your "actual wage" (basic + housing + transport). An "all-inclusive" salary with a low basic component could cost you tens of thousands in gratuity over a few years.
