Not worth the risk. I was in Saudi Arabia for 4 months 10 years ago when things were no where NEAR as "elevated" as they are now and we couldn't leave the base. It was miserable and we were hated by 25-40% of the country (think about that for a sec) and that's in SAUDI. I've had offers of over $200K TAX FREE money along with a Mercedes SUV and a house for free to work over in Iraq on an Air Force base with a month's paid vacation every summer, and 15 paid days off in country every year. Wouldn't touch it. Not worth it. Waaay too hot over there right now.
