Are you a Native Arabic speaker? I spoke to a lady in AD recently who is British however speaks Arabic fluently and has been turned down at interviews as a lot of cos in AD are looking for Native Arabic speakers who can speak English fluently these days. If you have a license, consider AD.
2 years is not a lot of experience, though. [b'>By 23, the competition can have 4 years experience[/b'>, so be prepared to polish your CV
Are you American? Or were you only living there? Consider Apple, as I believe they were recruiting recently for their flagship regional hub.
There is stiff competition in this field, as Indians dominate it and there are a lot of Indians workers here looking for positions.

If they do they're unlikely to have the same qualifications !!
It is 3 years for a bachelors. School ends at 18. By 24, starting to work part time in the final year, a lot start working at 20 off degrees, those who went direct after school, then by 24, there is 4 years under their belt. The past 3 CVs I was given, the candidates had a nice experience tally.
The above is a good thing to keep in thought when hearing to keep your CV sparkling as PEOPLE LIE! They lie like they BREATHE. SO, these great CVs are LIES. And thry have friends or relatives who will back these lies, saying that they had employed the person.
They do it because a lot desperately need the position.They do it as grads never get given a foot in the door, even when they know how to do the role however the WORK {EXPERIENCE section implies otherwise.
It does not matter, all that matters is that they do it. And that only makes getting that position that extra bit harder.
So, do not give up. As others have said.

your age is a hard sell as most recall their life experience being rather lacking at age 23, no matter the degree behind them. i am sorry to say but if you really need a job you must elaborate a bit on your cv. extend the dates & bump up your role as much as your smarts can allow with out being out of you league during interview. make sure you have an appealing professional pic at the top.
i say this b/c i have been there and i know countless people who have done the same. i obviously don't hate on those who choose to beef up their cv… its a jungle out there and only the strongest survive or get the job ;)
Hello Everyone,
I'd like to add this blog: http://americanbedu.com
It's a blog unlike any other. Full of very useful information on the Arabic couture, told thru Carol... An American woman who married a Saudi man.
She is an older woman who is beyond interesting who has actually passed on, but a friend has taken over.
Thank me later!
-B
