Females working abroad in Dubai? yes or no?

Hi everyone,
I would like to know the female perspectives on working in dubai. The lifestyle, safety,pay rate, restrictions, how it differs from the US, and how easy is it to make new friends there? Is travel easy among the region, or neighboring coutnries (europe etc). Are women paid less? Do they pay by hospital, gender or experience? Can anyone recommed a reputable contracting agency or recruiter? Those with experience, an 'article' would be greatly appreciated as I know many of us have similar curiosities?
Thanks
