I feel as if they don't want to be bothered and will remain arrogant and rude - just look at their driving as well as their need to talk on their cellphones during movies.

Hopefully someone can disagree with me and prove me wrong... but sadly this is my impression at the moment.

Many locals have been burned by unscrupulous expats, for instance, having sponsored them only to find the expat fled the country and left them responsible for the debt. So, trusting foreigners can be difficult.

They're also a minority in their own country. They want and need expats here, but then sometimes resent it. My wife teaches nationals every day and I think they tend to be more welcoming of Westerners, if we conduct ourselves conservatively and respectfully. Some have told my wife that they resent S. Asians more just because of the sheer number of them.

Yep, find them on the web at uaeoffroaders dot com uaeoffroaders, they also have a facebook page - but to go on the trips you need to register with the website. It doesn't cost anything to join the club, they are very well organised and safety is top priority.
See you on the sand I hope!
