Dont believe everything you read in the Daily Mail. Nearly every foreigner living/working there is there for the money, i.e. some kind of financial gain. In the case of a British expat it is easy to see how a £120k tax free salary for a years is a good deal. In the case of a Pakistani or Bangladeshi construction workers they may earn much less but it is often 100x what they could earn at home and their families are no longer starving. In the UAE and Oman they are looked after well by the big construction companies.

I have met and worked with many of these people and they see working in the UAE as an opportunity, they do not think this is slavery nor are they disappointed with the situation they are in.

What is happening in Qatar right now is awful, but that is not the case in Dubai.
