I agree with Roba on the fact that it depends on geography.
But it also depends on the job itself and the industry.
For jobs in medical care, for example, where you're a doctor or nurse who interacts with locals on a daily basis, you will have to be able to speak Arabic.
Other industries might not be that much dependent on your Arabic language skills.

I think it depends on geography.
I noticed that in Dubai, for example, Arabic is not as important as it is in Jordan.
