I can find hotel deals in most countries but I can't seem to find any in the Middle East. Does anyone know of a web site for finding cheap accomodations in Dubai, Kuwait, Oman Dhoa and North Africa?
Also if you know of any cheap budget airlines that fly around these areas?

Welcome to FlyerTalk and the Mileage Run Hotel Deals forum, tailfirst!
Although I'm afraid I don't have a specific answer to your question, I wanted to recommend that you take a moment to check at the top of any forum you visit to see if there are any Announcements or Sticky Threads for that forum. Those are usually going to help guide you as to many of the frequently asked questions, as well as the appropriate content for that forum.
In this particular case, at the top of the Hotel Deals forum you'll find this announcement (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/announcement.php?f=607&announcementid=136) which explains that this is a forum to post hotel deals that will help earn lots of hotel points. It's unfortunately not a place to look for low rates for a hotel stay that you need.
I'm going to go ahead and move this to the Budget Travel forum, which based on your post seems to be a much better location for this inquiry.
Again, welcome to FlyerTalk.

I presume you meant Qatar when you said Dhoa.
Can't help with websites for finding cheap hotels in the region.
If you don't mind it though, the YHA in Doha was just as nice as the Hotel I stayed at though. www.qyha.com - This is budget accommodation as opposed to cheap hotels though.
Similarly YHA in Dubai is supposed to be hotel-like (rooms rather than dorms).
Again cheaper than hotels but books up very quickly

Thank you JB field
Yes that is what I meant.
for anyone else who is looking at this post, I am still looking for all areas around the middle east, so if you have tips and websites I would appreciate your input.
Thank you
