Gulf Region Expatriates/Contract Workers Insight

My hotel experiences were mainly from the middle east and the gulf countries. Gulf countries are Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and United Arab Emirates. I have worked in Kuwait for almost eight years, Qatar for nine years and Oman for a month. Businesses in the Gulf Region hired their employees from different parts of the world. Most of them were contract workers with one to two years contract. Contract workers were given free two-way ticket , one way was when they come to work in the region and the second ticket will be when they finished or completed their contract. They were also provided with food and accomodation and for hotel employees, a games room, kitchen area, t.v. room, prayer room, a playground and many others. Health and Medical assistance were free and every year contract workers were being scheduled for medical check-up and Health Authorities ensured that each and every company in the region complies with it. Most contract worker or expatriate stayed in the gulf for almost a decade or even more because of the benefits provided to them.
