1. Can women drive in Dubai?
How hard do you think UAE stunt driver and race car instructor Alix Capper Murdoch is LOL-ing under that helmet? Clue: a lot.
2. Can you party in Dubai?
‘Erm, how about I explain over brunch?’
3. Do you have to wear a burqa?
Making Western women in Dubai wear a burqa would be like European police forcing Muslim women NOT to wear a burqa in Europe. That’s crazy. Oh, wait… Thankfully, the vibe over here is a lot more multicultural. Take that, Gendarmes.
4. Do you spend your life at the beach?
We wish. It may be sunny 24/7 but a girl’s still got to earn a crust. How else are we going to afford all those gold-plated Lambos you think we own? Which leads us on to the next question…
5. Is everyone rich in Dubai?
Okay, so we don’t pay tax and granted, there are some mega-wealthy people in the city, but for most of us the daily commute looks less like this…

6. Are you treated like a second-class citizen because you are a woman?
No queues. Free drinks. Send help.
7. Can you celebrate the holidays?
All. December. Long.
