Moving to the Middle East?

My friend Will planted a little seed in my head today when he told me of potential job opportunities in Dubai with a friend of his who is moving into IT recruitment in the area. I hate the thought of working in such a messed up part of the World. Dubai looks so crass. But the money over there can be very good and it could fund my exit out of IT and into something more fulfilling. It would also get me away from Bristol which is starting to get me down again.
