I think everyones needs are different. I have a family so Dubai would not be an option for me. As for you coments regarding housing, well housing prices rise every year in Australia, In the past 2 years our house has rizen in value by 40% !!!!
Australia has 3 cities that we vote in the top 10 best cities in the world to live in. ie Melbourne /Perth and Brisbane.
Good luck with your decision.
I really didn't like Dubai. Most of all, I hated how so many of the men looked at me with a mixture of contempt and leering voyurism. I'm quite a conservative dresser, had all necessary parts covered, didn't seem to matter. I don't think it would be a nice place for women to live.
Oh, and there's all the poverty, human rights abuses and all that to consider. Also It's pretty darn close to a war zone, when compared to Australia.
