    Working here in Dubai.

    The rules of the country are as the post before me. But do not let this put you off.
    The weather is great and the opportunity for work is strong.
    We work long hours which are normally 8am – 6pm. You start your week on a Sunday and finish Thursday night. Friday and Saturday are your weekend.
    Taxi’s are cheap and will take you most places, be careful as they tend to take the long way.
    Women, well there are plenty here, modest dress is not the case, they are all here flaunting there bits and HOOKER are rife.
    You can find them in most bar and have a selection of Chinese, Russian, or African.
    They are cheap apart form the Russians !!!
    Normal single females are also in abundance but after a few drinks cost the same and the fun is not guaranteed.
    You can drink at any of the hotels which have a bar and some a night club. All drinks stop at 3am.
    Cars, food are cheap. All other things are around UK prices. Beware you normally get paid in U.S dollars.
    Life is great as most companies pay for your accommodation which is mostly furnished and medical. You just to pay for food and travel.
    If you want to spend BIG you can, if you budget wont stretch then it is ok, like any places in the world you can always find something cheap and good value.
    I enjoy it here. Not much crime, no drugs but always a good fun night to be had out.
    If you think it will only be non Islamic people in the bars your wrong, in certain places it is all Islamic people drinking and taking home a young girl !
    Police are strict and tend to side with people from there own country.

    Hope this information helps, on the whole I would say a great place to live, just don’t bring the wife !!! if you do she will spend your money as fast as you earn it as the shopping Malls are great, everything out here is the biggest in the world, the people are a lot nicer than any in the uk.

      I might be wrong but I guess he would have made his mind up by now!
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        Useful, even if a little late, just had a guy I know asking me about Dubai as well.

        Funny how these co-incidences happen.
        Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
        threadeds website, and here's my blog.

          I must admit I didn't read it at first when I saw the date of the previous post but now I have and I am a little jealous... in a perverse corrupt kind of way
