Default Christians in UAE

Hey guys,

I'm currently working in the UK under training as an Air Traffic Controller and am thinking about moving to the UAE in a few years (after gaining the requisite experience!).
My question may seem a strange one, but I am a practicing Chrisitian and was wondering if there are any Christian churches out there? Protestant ones preferrably!! And also, are there many Christian communities?

Thanks very much!

Andy.

Yes, there are places of Christian worship, at least there are in Dubai.

This church is down town Bur Dubai

There is another in Jebal Ali out of town called Christ Church.

They tend to do all denominations in the one church, just different times of the day. They also allow other smaller religions to use the other hall in grounds.

The goverment is open to people practicing there religions just as long as the don't preach about it in public.

Actually there is kind of a big faith centre at Jebel Ali with several churches/worship halls. I think more to cater for different languages/ethnicites perhaps than different denominations, but it could be either.

They do every thing for every one. I once saw some African religion practicing there.
