[Zmniubqr]

I think its more important to focus on advice of Brothers like Hazratji, London786, Nomadic, who have actually lived there (I didnt mention myself even though i lived here 29 years!)

For a Muslim, the UAE is good because

1) More Masajid than in west, malls have masajid and wudu facilities which is very very convenient
2) Halal food (though a minority of brothers feel imported meat are Haram, and imported meat forms most available meat here)
3) If you have Sunnah beard or a sister wear Niqab she wont feel out of place except in many companies in Dubai which are 95% Non-muslim


Where people should be careful of

1) Much less opportunities to study Islam than in a place like London. Most stuff is heavily controlled, (for e.g. no Imam can mention the US in any of his Khutba and can not condemn any war)

2) Lots of ultra liberal Muslims around,

3) Lots of Muslims around who follow the basics but have horrible Akhlaq: rude, racist, out to cheat people, oppress workers if they are managers.

The last bit may not affect you that much if you are Caucasian, but its depressing nevertheless
