Region guide
Teach English in the Middle East
Highest-paying ESL market for credentialed teachers. UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Oman lead hiring.
The Gulf states pay top-of-market salaries for licensed teachers, often tax-free, with housing and airfare included. Entry requires more credentials than Asia: a teaching license from your home country and several years of K-12 experience are standard for the best roles. Adult ESL at universities is the more accessible track.
