85% of the population are "foreigners". They do most of the actual work. A lot of Filipino workers then. The waitresses in the hotel worked a split 12 hour shift over 18 hours. They signed long contracts. They lived in dormitories. Gruelling work schedules, very restrictive living conditions.
Even so, the UAE is probably the most western country of the Islamic area (except possibly Iraq before the W invasion).
