Best thing to do is to go to them physically/in-person, and tell them you are not interested anymore. Hopefully they will be accommodating, they might not be though, so do be mentally prepared to have some sort of a discussion on the matter.

Do this as soon as possible. Also draft up a letter (can be in arabic no issues) explaining that you are not interested in the position, sign it and keep a copy, give them one and try and get their signature on the other one. This is all to just keep your bases covered.

The thing is, the process has to get to a certain stage (speaking from professional experience in our establishment), after which withdrawal would be costly. So don't go on verbal confirmations of your intent etc.. if at all possible get confirmation from them in writing to terminate the employment proceedings.

Now finally the most important thing is for you to get in touch with the MOL. Inform them of what the scenario is and what you want to do, they will advise you.

Hope this helps, and good luck with the whole process.

Did you sign a contract or just an offer letter? Did you give them your passport?
