I did work with "ESP" in these very areas --and with Arabic speakers
from Gulf countries-- for a decade or so, and I could talk to the
requesting people if you wish.

Incidentally, any ESP worth its name (i.e., for Specific purpose) would
not be suitable or adequate for re-use by new learners/clients as the
requirements vary from population to population. Furthermore most real
ESP stuff usually becomes the sole property of the contracting
agency/client, hence its rarity on the market.

Well this is a brief response to your query.
