[quote=Anonymous]Cohabiting outside marriage in Dubai is common among young westerners. Just be discreet. The authorities won't conduct door to door witch hunts but if something happens and their attention are drawn to you, they will be forced to act upon it. You will be arrested, you will be deported. While very rare, it does happen. The UAE operates on this model, there are many laws, as long as you're not caught they don't care, but if they are forced to recognize that you're breaking the law, they will arrest and prosecute you.

I'd be more worried about saving money in Dubai. It's a VERY expensive city. Rents are very expensive, groceries and social activities are very expensive. A typical beer or cocktail can easily cost $12-$15 USD. It's a fun town but it comes at a cost. Always make sure you get a proper package/salary before moving out there. So many people move to Dubai and end up not saving a penny despite the tax exclusions, although they usually manage to have a blast.
