Well that is not good 
2-year contract
Hotel for first 10 days provided
airfare to and from paid for
2x my current salary
no taxes
1 month off a year
according to the paperwork they sent me, I would be responsible for room and board after the 10 days and utilities. Plus any other expense I would have while over there.

Like I said, be careful. you can easily get fricked there, especially if someone you work for is influential or has money. they operate different there and in no way will you have any clout over an arab.
alot of the things I am talking about is what makes it a nice place, but be careful.

There's only two ways you aren't paying taxes.
A) You're making less than $96,000 a year which is not a very good income for a person living in Dubai, and you're out the US 330 days minimum.
B) Your company is paying your taxes for you.
You need to find out what the company is providing. Visa's, local taxes, goods and services etc. A income double to what you make in the US, especially the south, can quickly evaporate.

If you can handle the heat and a completely different culture, go.
