Don't worry - it's not really a medical. Blood taken to get your blood group, quick x-ray of your lungs to see if you have tb and blood taken for HIV test.

I hope by Physical exam you mean the Medical Test. If so, then my answer would read as:

Yes, to the best of my knowledge, throughout the Gulf, it is mandatory to undergo Medical Test before being issued an ID, without which you cannot get a job in Qatar or any Gulf country for that matter...
