Hi All,

I am a UK resident working for a management consultancy looking to move to the middle east for work. I am considering either Qatar, Kuwait or the UAE but really don't have an idea of which one I would be better off moving to so I'd appreciate some insight from those with experience.

Any opinions on differences in everyday life, cost of living, healthcare etc. would be much appreciated. Also, are salaries generally the same in these countries or is one more lucrative?

TIA
