Moving from UK to Middle East

Posted by x5x4@reddit | expats | View on Reddit | 3 comments

Hello,

Myself and my partner (both late 20s) have decided it's time to leave the UK. After some deliberation/research we have narrowed the list down to Qatar, Bahrain, UAE and Kuwait.

My background is in high end real estate and sales, held senior/director level position for 10 years, she has law degrees and has been involved in her own family's business for 6 years dealing with investments, HR, legal cases and asset management.

I am keen to hear people's opinion who have transitioned from a life in the UK to either of the aforementioned countries, starting from finding a job to a long term life there. Neither of us are big drinkers and therefore living in a dry country is well received by us.

It feels pretty overwhelming at present as we don't feel any type of way about any of these countries as there are no pulls (family/friends/connections etc.) from any of them and neither of us have visited any of them.

Thanks in advance.
