the key is to find the 5 or so strongest agencies in IT, and you need to check their webpages daily, and constantly email them when opportunities come up.
In the end I must have been using 10 middle east agencies, and it took time. you need to treat finding a job like it's a job itself. put you CV on sites like BAYT, gulftalent, etc. and update your CV each week so that it goes to the top of the list.
there were some good agencies out there and they were helpful WHEN they had jobs in my field, but you can't expect them to get back to you when they have no jobs.
don't give up. i took me 4-5 months to get my job, and this was before the crisis.
