Thanks for your question Moderator Ogri750.
As a professional black female, I think more important than color here is socioeconomic status.
The Expats friends I have made here that only make 1500 Dirham a month or less have
a much different experience than those Western Expats making significantly more. It is very interesting to hear the stories and real life struggles of some of the taxi drivers, restaurant workers, and hotel staff. However, this happens all over the world and Dubai is no different. As an American professional women of color, I have had a wonderful experience in Dubai. My husband and I have traveled all over the world. As a black male, he also loves Dubai has had the best experience here out of all the places we have traveled. I hope my responses have been helpful to the original person who asked the question on the experience of black professional women in Dubai. I assume the question was asked for a specific reason, so I tried to provide some insight about my positive experience and general information related living here. If other Blacks are considering moving to Dubai also, I hope they find the information helpful in the future. Thanks
