Hi there,
This is not an ant, it's a parasitic wasp.
I've been to Dubai, UAE, last October to find swarms of Iridomyrmex anceps preparing for nuptial flights. However, I had missed their flights myself. They probably have flown already, I'm not sure if you will be able to find anything now. Keep on looking though!
