This has been going on for years, every single building in those spectacular cities were built buy these low-wage labor-imports, mainly from Pakistan I think. To put it mildly the arabs aren't being particularly nice to these guest workers.
The subject was briefly touched in the 2005 movie Syriana, if you haven't seen it yet please do so. It is a most excellent movie about the problems in middle east. Oil, power, money, Americans, Europeans..
