Microsoft Gulf Community blog is an Excellent blog for the Gulf community, you will find interesting posts by our community leads and news about upcoming events within the region. I encourage all of the Gulf Dev and IT Pros to visit the blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/msgulfcommunity/

If you are within the Gulf region, It will be also valuable for you to profile yourself in our database, you can do so by following the below steps:

1. Go to the Microsoft Profile Center
2. Sign in with your LiveID
3. Update "My Personal Information" to make sure that your country is one of the Gulf countries: UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Yemen
4. Update "My Business Information" to make sure that the "primary role" is correct, select "Developer, Solutions Architect, ..." whatever matches

YOU ARE ALL SET!
