Aside from Afghanistan, where bin Laden had long-standing ties - including some possible family ties - with the then-ruling Taliban, there are indications bin Laden has some contacts with both the governments of Iran and Pakistan. The connections with Iran were described in Justice Department papers filed in the embassy bombing case.

Due to the wide variety of restaurants on offer there are no hotels that offer all-inclusive options. The majority of hotels are on a bed and breakfast basis but do have half board supplements although we would suggest taking bed and breakfast as due to the vast choice of restaurants, cafes and bars you may feel restricted if you choose the half board option.

The various countries in the Middle East each have a unique environment, however what they all have in common is a desire to accelerate growth, increase their GDPs by increasing business in all sectors and above all they wish to employ talented and creative individuals. In turn you have the opportunity to enchance and develop your own skill sets in a part of the world you may little or nothing about. It is both an enjoyable and eye opening experience, from Riyadh to Dubai, or Jeddah or Muscat.

It is of course hot in the Middle East, however you are very well protected with air conditioning available practically everywhere, in cars, at work, in accomodation, in hotels, restaurants...basically everywhere. Typically November to April are the coolest months with average temperatures of approximately 20°C. During the rest of the year temperatures increase and are typically between 30-45°C. There is very little rainfall and that usually occurs during the cooler months.

There are many challenging regions in the world, but due to limited human resources MBAs Without Borders has focused on the most pressing regions as outlined per international policies.

Yes. Even though Israel is not considered part of the Arab world because a majority of its population and its heritage isn't Arab, it is nevertheless considered to be part of the Broader Middle East region.

Because the Arab Muslim world refuses to accept a modern, democratic and secular Jewish State. There are 22 Arab States, with a combined population of 250 Million vs. 5 Million Israeli Jews. Since 1947, every proposal for a peaceful solution, by the UN, Israel, ECU, USA, etc. was consistently rejected by the Arab States.

The various Arab countries have different policies on this issue. In Saudi Arabia, women work but mainly in positions within the medical and teaching fields. Many of the wives of candidates that we have sent to Saudi Arabia have found gainful employment there. Although each company varies somewhat in the benefits offered to an expat employee, there are some standard benefits.

The Arab-Israeli conflict should end with a two-state solution under which all the Arab and Muslim states-indeed the entire world-acknowledge Israel's right to continue to exist as an independent, democratic, Jewish state with secure and defensible boundaries and free of terrorism. In exchange, Israel should recognize the right of Palestinians to establish an independent, democratic, Palestinian state with politically and economically viable boundaries.

No. APIASF follows the U.S. Census definition of Asian and/or Pacific Islander ethnicities, and citizens from Afghanistan are not defined as an Asian ethnicity.

It is in the interests of local business to behave ethically, because that will inspire confidence and cooperation in securing the economic goals of the UAE and the region. The corporate responsibility agenda is part and parcel of taking Dubai where Dubai wants to go. Change is already occurring in the region.

These terms relate to the Prime Meridian. If the South Pole were at the 'top' then our 'Middle East' would be the United States and our 'Far East', Britain. What is generally understood as the 'Far East"' is our Near West.

Retirement is at age 60 based on the Hejra calendar. When you are 55 years old based on the Gregorian calendar (the one we use in the U.S.), you are approximately 58 years old when computed on the Hejra calendar. Therefore, most business' in Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries do not prefer to hire above the age of 55 when computed on the Gregorian calendar.

I get email quite frequently asking if I believe the EU treaty could signify that we are in the 70th week (Tribulation period) already. Others ask regarding other political events or because of specific conditions or events in the Islamic world. I make a strong effort to stay away from trying to tie current events with biblical prophecy.

The concept that an individual has inherent rights - regardless of gender, religion, race, etc. - must take root in Middle Eastern societies if democracy and long-term stability are to be achieved. Beyond the military and diplomatic challenges of the Iraq War, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the struggle to stop Islamist terrorists, the fact remains that hundreds of millions of individuals in the Middle East lack guaranteed rights.

Reporting from the Middle East regularly spotlights long-ruling dictators and radical Islamists. Yet beneath the surface, inspiring pockets of activism have recently emerged across the region. Civil rights activists have helped organize sizeable grassroots demonstrations in Lebanon, Kuwait, Bahrain, Iran, and Egypt, among others. Reformers are establishing organizations, launching independent newspapers and weblogs, and demanding respect for the basic rights of all citizens.

Dictators and other advocates of the status quo often try to marginalize reformers by accusing them of being the tools of outsiders. The same argument was used during the American civil rights movement to try to discredit activists. It didn't stop outsiders from providing vital assistance in the 1960s, and it shouldn't stop us today. At the same time, we primarily collaborate with reformers who want assistance and are eager for partnerships.
