Abu D is a little more conservative. To be honest, I think the wearing of long sleeves is more for the lady's comfort of not being ogled - it's not like the police will bust a girl for indecency because she's in a mini skirt.

I know a few people at Abu Dhabi Investment Company if that's any good to you - check www.adic.ae. If it's of interest send me a PM.

Now the weather is very hot, so you need to spend your time in the Malls. At night you can go out and have some fun.
