Jews living in Abu Dhabi?

20 years ago

I am a US citizen and considering a job offer in Abu Dhabi. Though I don't practice any religion, I am of Jewish heritage and not sure if this may pose a problem living in Abu Dhabi? Are there other Jews living/working in the area? Also, are expat women living in Abu Dhabi subject to Shari'a law - for example, is it a problem to have a child without being married?
