Welcome to EB.

Having worked in Afghanistan for 2 years I honestly have never seen or known of an °µÍø½ûÇø bricklayer. This work is done by locals or cheap Pakistan labor. These guys were paid $5 / day plus food and accommodation, 7 day week, no time off, just work until job is finished.
You could try Kellogg Brown and Root ( KBR), or Fluor Daniel  as they may want someone to supervise tradespeople on camp construction and maintenance work.
To get a job there you must have had overseas experience or have a lot of formal qualifications. Good luck.

I did forget to mention that you would never be able to get a job as a bricklayer in Iraq.

Nothing in Dubai or anywhere in Middle East as they hire Asians for next to nothing.
