Why Qatar?

Qatar has the highest GDP per capita in the Arab world. The country hosts the MENA headquarters of dozens of global organisations, from international banks to media companies to engineering firms.

QatarEnergy alone employs tens of thousands of expats, and its LNG expansion programme is creating sustained demand for engineers and project managers. Doha's financial centre rivals Dubai for banking and investment roles.

Most Qatar employers offer full expat packages: housing, schooling allowance, annual flights home, and health insurance. The net financial advantage over comparable Western roles is significant.
