If you are coming as an expat, my advice above stands in terms of what you should expect in terms of the offer. Benefits can be worth more than salary, and your salary alone will struggle to cover your living costs.
But it sounds like you've already made up your mind. For your sake, I hope you get a much better offer.
btw--it is not simply a matter of having a Western passport. If you are, for example, Lebanese by birth but hold a Canadian passport, they will likely still see and treat you as Lebanese. Wrong but all too common.
