Living in Dubai as an American woman

Posted in Dubai forum 18 Aug 2010, 11:38

Is there any American in this forum who lives in Dubai or UAE?

I am considering moving there. My first thought about that place is that it is far too dangerous place for an American woman. But then I think, Dubai has large number of foreign workers, which can imply that the country is very tolerant and cosmopolitan place.

I was wondering, as American moving to Dubai, did you get used to the new environment quickly? Did you face any major problems?

  Dubai is a wonderful place to visit & stay with family. It is the safest place in UAE for woman. Also more than 150 nationalities immigrants live here. So no worries

  Lots of Americans livign here. Walking around in public by yourself is perfectly acceptable. You are thinking of Saudi. They are much more strict there. Living here is pretty much like living in any other major city.

  You can get other helpful information from http://dubai.angloinfo.com and http://expatforum.com.
