Weekends at the beach
Living and working in Dubai offers all the benefits of the Middle East, with none of the potential drawbacks. It's an Islamic society - but a very tolerant one. The city is modern, high-tech and uncongested and its beaches, climate, relaxed lifestyle and superb sporting facilities are all big attractions. You can also venture into the desert - as we did for a recent office party. The drive to our desert camp across the sand dunes was by land cruiser, with activities including camel rides, sandboarding and bellydancing!
