it's a good oppertunity for you, the down side is you'll be seen as an EX pat, and then asumed american first. Just remember it's your wife that would have to comply with the strick rules if they have them in place if she leaves the compound, and its possible she may be only alowed leave with you, depending on the laws, she even might be restricted from driving, but again this all depends on the laws. On the plus side is you'd get the oppertunity to see or have a E-spec Focus as they sell them in the middle east along side with the imported american versions.
