We are an American family moving to the UAE because of employment and I was wondering what the sentiment is over there towards Americans considering the Iraqi war. I am concerned about moving there with my children if there is an element of danger. Has there been anti-american demonstrations there?

Hi cyn,

The UAE is a very safe country. In fact, maybe the safest in the Middle East. I am living in Abu Dhabi and working with many Americans and they find absolutely no problem working here. As everywhere in the ME, most Arabs are against American actions and policies in the region yet this is not expressed in any violent manner. To answer your questions about demonstrations, there were no demonstrations in the UAE during the war in Iraq.
