In general you'll need a degree and a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate to get a visa and work.
The degree can be in almost any subject as it is usually required for the visa only so you will find teachers with a degree in Engineering or Sociology. Having said this, to help get the job it's obviously better to be English or language related, for example a degree in English literature.
The TEFL certificate can be taken either in-house or online at your own pace which is a much cheaper option (see http://icalweb.com)./
However, these are the minimum qualifications to teach. In the Middle East jobs tend to pay a lot more than the rest of the world and consequently teachers are expected to have more to offer. This usually means a few years of good experience. You may be lucky and get work without experience but don't count on it.

Yes, you need a bachelor's degree and at least a certificate in TESL or TEFL. The better jobs require a master's degree. You do not need to know the language before you go, although some knowledge of the local language- Arabic, probably- will help you live there. Many Middle Eastern employers advertise through TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages), the international professional organization. You can also look at eslcafe.com (click on Jobs) to see what kinds of jobs are available and what the requirements are.
