It depends on your qualifications and your sponsor.

in Saudi Arabia its very easy to take your family depends your salary on agreement  if you have a professional job more easy or a strong sponsor in case if you are with a private visa.
everything is depends power of your sponsor's (waastha) influence

HI,
I was told by schools in saudia arabia,oman,dubai that i as a woman cant sponsor my husband and kids,i agree that it depends on the sponsor but in my experience most said only after 90 days they can come but i cant sponsor as a woman,for me as a mother 90 days without small children is too long to wait,and then its not plain sailing and thats saudia.oman come first then after a month they come but then only on tourist visa for month and told again no woman can sponsor a husband,in my opinion they are only interested in the teacher and wont help at all to bring your husband or kids.

If it DEPENDS on these things, then it's not easy.  Most PYP female teachers are only eligible for a single visa and no family sponsorship.

Saudi Arabia , Oman ,are different two countries in middle east and Dubai is one of the state of UAE United Arab Emirates. Dubai not a country. anyway in UAE woman can sponsor no discrimination just need meet salary criteria , Oman also almost similar, about Saudi Arabia already explained before
