    Indian workers in the Gulf

    It's really cheap to eat out in the Gulf.
    In five star hotels you can dine on seafood

    for 10 Dinars, or 25 bucks.
    In the cheap workers' restaurants,

    a fried Kingfish steak costs a dinar,
    or less than 3 dollars.

    The reason for this is the low wages
    paid to service staff in the gulf.

    Most of them are lucky to earn 150 dollars
    a month. That keeps prices down!

    Low-wage workers from the subcontinent are
    the real constructors of the present day Gulf.

    Without them, nothing would have got done,
    and nothing would get done even today.
