After years of being in the M. E. I find most companies do not understand what a PMP does. They want "yes" people that do as they are told rather than what should be done from a PMI standpoint.

 Just look at99% of job postings these days? Wanted PM - Engineer xx dicipline xx years of experience...

 Now can you explain where PMP has anything to do with any Engineering of any dicipline?

PMP is well regarded all over the world, PMI is the largest institute amongst others, therefore, I would highly recommend gaining a PMP, because of its 'brand image', I did not attend IPMA or Prince2 courses, therefore, I cannot assess based on quality of methodologies and tools delivered.

PMP is recognized globally and it is much more in demand as compared to other certifications that you've mentioned in the Middle East. Being PMP certified helps you in getting better career opportunities and an ability to handle projects more effectively.

I seen many types of this same question, what qualification is better here or there.

Each organisation will state their particular qualification is more relevent than another.

PMP, or IPMA (Project Management), MCIPS, over CPPM (Procurement) etc.

In the long run all that employers are concerned about is can you do the job, and add value to the organisation?
