with 90% foreigners to 10% citizens- indeed it is!, if you don't mind can you explain more- why "you just couldn't live there"?, was it the hot weather? cultural/religion- differences? political/ideological- differences?. "most no tax nations are just small islands that lack of advanced universities & healthcare facilities- hence it's easy to tell why one just can't live there, but this isn't the case of dubai & that makes me wonder!". have a good day!
