I wouldn't commit my entire life to the UAE or any of those middleastern countries. Sheikhs have full control to change rules as they see fit. I've had a friend detained for a month in Abu Dhabi for an in race mistake (ex endurance athlete), deemed hit and run. He had to essentially buy his way out and get his passport back. I think it even had to go through Lance Armstrong and some of his connections with US diplomats.
