Morale among expats:
Some expats have been here WAY too long, though they would never know it. But you will. Most folks are happy here; it just takes some adjusting to the prayer times, restrictions, etc. We're thankful to be here but are looking forward to getting out and moving on, as well. - Oct 2012
Good for the most part. When we need a break we go over to Bahrain to recharge. Living in the EP as a woman is not as tough as I expected. I never cover my hair, I only wear the abayya when I have cropped pants and/or short sleeved shirt - I never close the abayya when I do where it. Have yet to be bothered by the religous police and only a couple of times have locals said anything, but I just ignored them and it wasn't a problem. - Apr 2008
