Seems some locals are returning to live in tents in the desert, rather than live in a city with us awful foreigners. But only with aircon and televisions.
Apparently some are put off by the 'scarcity of mosques' in certain parts of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Plenty of them near me!
Recently one poster (Spugsy?) claimed that Dubai would be better without locals. Looks like their hopes are getting closer if this article has any accuracy...
Your thoughts?

In respect to the scarcity of Mosques, there are in some areas very few mosques and this is one factor that the nationals look at when choosing a home, you are fortunate that you have so many close to you.
As for Dubai without locals - well that will never happen as much as some of you wish it would.
I think it is really sad, that so many expats live here hating the place, as so many locals have said, they are not holding a gun to your head, if you dont like it then maybe it is time to move on.
The bitterness is honestly tireing from some expats
