More DescriptionAs a sassy young woman used to blagging, blogging and slogging her way through dreary London, the call of a glamorous, tax-free lifestyle in sunny Dubai just couldnâ²t go unanswered. During two and a half years, an entire city rose from the dust around Becky, along with a good few rungs of that hard-to-climb career ladder.

Becky lifts the burqa behind the razzle dazzle and what it was really like to live in the worldâ²s fastest up and coming city.
