Londoners - move to Dubai?

Going along with the recent thread on IBD Dubai, anyone here make the jump from Canary Wharf out to Dubai? It seems more natural, as Dubai falls under EMEA, and EMEA is headquartered in London.

Dubai is somewhere i would go for a weeks holiday or perhaps for a month or two if i was on expenses. i wouldnt like to be there full time. you can get paid well but the cost of living is very high, the climate is not for everyone and its easy to get bored pretty quickly.
