Let me tell you a little bit about the Arabs..
They are segregated into many different groups.. but in UAE, its the tanned Arabians and the olive skinned Egyptians that are the majority. They hate the guts of each another. The Arabs still remember the days where the Egyptians used the Arabs as slaves and they gloat that its the reverse these days where the Arabs are the bosses.
They think Palestinians are beggars and refuse to let them into UAE even though they declare its brotherhood
Israelis they hate totally but still conduct business with Israel. Business is still business
If you really want to know, the Indians in UAE are pretty much the lower rung workers, doing the stuff that the Arabs/Egyptians refuse/too lazy to do. The Chinese are present in UAE with their business of trading..
I find that the Arabs are good to do business with. Their word is true and they will fulfill what they commit, albeit with some haggling.
BTW, there are pig farms and pork is available in UAE in any case. They seem a lot more tolerant of pork that some of the ASEAN neighboring countries. Strangely.
