Depends on where you are from.

People from the western world
Tax free salary
Sunshine and beaches
Safety and security
Large villas or apartments
Hired help like maids and drivers
Tons of entertainment options

People from the 3rd world
Much higher salary in hard currency vs. what you would get back home
Better job options and career growth prospects
Safety and security
Better infrastructure, services and lifestyle vs. back home

Usually, western expats generally tend to go back after a stint in the Middle East (generally not always) when they have achieved their goals whereas people from the 3rd world try to stick around (generally speaking).

1. Multicultural
2. Friendly/Tolerant culture
3. Safety and Security
4. Tax-free income
5. Better infrastructure (Health, Education)
6. Shopping and Lifestyle Destination
7. Business opportunities
8. Night Life
