Your circumstances are not really clear from your post but if you are only 'thinking' of moving you might find you are unable to open a bank account. Perhaps expand a little more ?

I do not believe you could withdraw US$ from an ATM in UAE any more than you could do so in UK.

Nah, I haven't got that far yet. Seems legit. I'll take a teeny tiny studio with a large garden, private pool and 4 parking spaces please. :rofl:

What visa are you coming on, and what employer?

You can't just get on a plane and move there without a visa.
