Not sure if it's across the Amex family of cards, but the Amex platinum and gold have no foreign transaction fees.
I was in UAE and Saudi Arabia a few weeks ago. Had trouble with Amex Platinum at some of touristy market shops in Dubai. Had to use visa as a back up without problems.
Didn't have fees on either card.

I live in Germany, it is hard to find a place that accepts AMEX. Mastercard may be accepted, but usually with fees.
Your best bet is with Chase Sapphire or Capitol One Quicksilver/Venture/etc as neither one has foreign fees. Also never accept the conversion factor in the establishment, they typically offer you an option to pay in USD$. Select the Euro amount and it always comes out cheaper

Good advice, no matter where you are. Same goes for ATMs.
