I didn't live in Gulf countries and didn't visit there so I can't tell you100% true story about it. I am sharing my knowledge which I gain from internet research or heard from different people.
I agree with Abdul Mannan here. PHP scope is less than .NET technology in Guld countries. Mobile development is taking a big part of it as well. You should be multi-telanted to get a good job over there. Job chances with only PHP skills is very rare so you have to learn many other things to make good job chances for you. For example you should have following skills:
- PHP
- MySQL
- Ajax, JS and jQuery,
- Wordpress / Magento / Drupal / Joomla [some opensource expertise]
- Data scrapping
- YII / CodeIgniter / Zend [any framework knowledge.]
- HTML5, CSS3, LESS
- Web Designing skills [You should have skills to convert a PSD to html etc.]
Note: Mobile development or .Net technology skills would be a good plus for your profile.
According to me, the scope of php is less then that of ASP.NET in Gulf countries. Because i have heard from many persons went in Gulf countries for jobs.
