Around 30,000 Americans(could be more), are in the UAE. Most of them live in Dubai, while others are also living in the capital city, Abu Dhabi. A lot of them also have contracts with oil companies, especially with Adnoc (UAE), and the Saudi company, Aramco. That goes for Australians and Canadians, as well. Brits, on the other hand, are more than 80,000. There are 321 Brits in the department I work in alone. Even my neighborhood has 9 British families.
