If I am applying to the region (i.e., Middle East) and do not want to specifically state that I am applying to Dubai or Riyadh office - what should I put as the address of the company in my Cover Letter?

Hi there!

Don't put anything :)

It's not really mandatory to put the address but it's a nice to have. 

Keep it open if you're applying more widely in the region.

Best,
Cristian

Hi there, I'd just address it to “Middle Eastern Region” in that case, highlighting already your flexibility regarding location. Best of luck! Frederic

Hi there,

If you are sending the letter via email or online application form, you can skip the office address and mention your accommodation flexibility across the region.

Good luck with your application!

Hi there,

Q: If I am applying to the region and do not want to specifically state that I am applying to Dubai or Riyadh office - what should I put as the address of the company in my Cover Letter? 

If you cannot/don’t want to select a first choice for your application, you can skip the address line and just indicate the name of the company and the region (the Middle East in your case).
