Why would you want local friends? Really, people who have such disdain for dogs aren't worth my time or attention.

Numerous expats have dogs, but it's not the best environment (weather-wise) for them, and outside the large expat compounds such as the Springs in Dubai, there aren't many places to walk dogs where they can meet other dogs or be let off the leash.

But if you have a small-medium sized dog, it's still doable as long as they have proper air conditioned environments in the hot summer months.

As per your question on housing allowance: if you are working off the island or just on the island, it may be worth it to live in the south end of Dubai (Marina, Springs, Discovery Gardens, the Greens community) and commute. A decent villa can be had for 150K a year, and you can pocket the rest.

Dogs - they are not mad about them here, Muslims consider dogs close to pigs. There are a few about with Western expats, but don't expect it to win you any local friends.

I've been looking in Gulf News at property. Do you know of any publications that have photo's along with the descriptions?
I think Abu Dhabi Week is better
