for some unknown crazy reasons arabs in m.east - dubai is no exception - prefer whites. and brits are a preferred lot.

may be brits want to go to dubai/m.east because they are treated well and paid high.

all said and done, dubai is no comparison to UK. m.east is a big racist region.

1. Dubai is much cheaper than London, has better weather, and it is easier to live a more luxury lifestyle

2. Dubai is fast growing, and it feels like the centre of the world to be here

3. Dubai is hugely cosmopolitan, you mix with international people of huge experience and knowledge, and far more open and less provincial minds than you will find in the UK (usually)

4. On the sinister side: as a western expat in Dubai, you are in a higher economic class than you would be back home. This means you can get full-time, live-in servants for 1000 dirhams or so a month. Working women can get 24-hour child care for this money (or even less in certain arrangements). Unless you have relatives looking after your kids in the UK, there is no way you could find full time childcare this cheaply.
