Why work a job that pays you well? Where's the challenge? Why not work a job that pays you jack shit, so you can't afford to not work.
Casual.
Would you go to the middle east for a job?

"Vacation" is a frame of mind. Not one that I subscribe to. Sure - I like a blow out long weekend in Vegas now and again. Or go to Costa Rica. But - I don't need it. It cramps my style. I like working. It's kinda like martial arts. Once you get into it at a high enough level, you want to maintain that groove.
What do you do for work?
1 wedding and 63 funerals lol

back in the 80's a recruiter latched on to me somehow
1st call - there will be a little bit of travel would that be a showstopper?
2nd call - there will be a bit more travel than i thought is that a problem?
3rd call - there is going to be a lot of travel are you negotiable?
4th call - the job is in Saudi Arabia
usually these gigs are contract - READ THE CONTRACT - if you can't handle it and run home before the term of the contract you might have to forfeit some of what you thought you could make.

This lowball salary tells me it's a Tier 2 position at best, especially given the 2 year contract commitment.
This isn't a "benefit" so much as a requirement of your visa. You'll get a 6 month work/contractor visa and it requires you to leave country for a specific period of time before renewing (through your employer). This is pretty typical of overseas contracts and it's basically just part of the immigration law.
Don't even bother unless you have no life, no hobbies, no friends, hate your family and want someone to pay you to be far away from them for the next 2 years. Find out exactly where you'll be stationed and exactly what sorts of amenities might be available. Afghanistan is basically the asshole of the planet so don't expect much in the way of civilization. Access to goods and services will be extremely limited and anything you order online will take a month to reach you if you're lucky.
I saw this on broadcast news

My Aunt was the head nurse for the Aramco Oil hospital in Saudi Arabia a while back. She worked there for probably about 10-11 years and retired from that. They paid for everything. Her place to live, food, flights for her vacations etc.
Pretty slick hehe

I spent 3 years working in Egypt but for a lot more money. It was good at the time as I didn't have a family and the company covered flights anywhere in the world on my breaks (6 weeks on 3 weeks off). Was a great opportunity to cash up and see the world. Wouldn't take it back but wouldn't do it again.
