Yeah, there are loads of 'fake' jobs on websites for various reasons. Also I spoke with someone who worked at one. Due to the amount of CV's each job gets, the situation with employers and these website's algorithms, it is a proper needle in a haystack for any job hunter. They said they were amazed that any vacancies were filled at the end of the day.
The other thing is marketing is largely non existent out here. For many companies it means PR and trade shows, for most companies it's seen as a waste of time. That's not to say some companies don't embrace 'proper' marketing but then you are already competing with the existing job market and people not only with marketing experience but GCC marketing experience too.
I know he who dares etc but I would seriously advise against it. You'll come out, end up working a bit of PR here and there for beer money. You'll be chasing payment all the time before taking up a job selling "financial planning" on a commission only basis and then going home a couple of months later.
Obviously I don't know you but maybe because you're willing to settle for a "good job, decent salarly" and that's what is holding you back in the UK. It's a tough one and I sympathise as I had no idea what I wanted to do in my 20's but the right job is not going to land in your lap. Do you want to actually want to be in marketing? If so focus more, if not is it sales?
If, like me, you have no real vision get a bar job in Spain or Austrailia or sell fishing and scuba charters in Thailand if you just want some fun in the sun. But from your original post, I can't see Dubai benefiting you in any way.
