Business visit in Sharjah safe for American business woman?

19 years ago
Hi,

I'm an American business consultant and know absolutely nothing about the UAE. I've also never been in an Islamic country. I have just been contacted by a company in Sharjah about some work that would require me to visit the companiy in Sharjah for 1 - 2 weeks. I would very much appreciate opinions to the following questions:

- Is it safe for Americans to travel to the UAE (terrorism etc.)?
- Are there any restrictions placed on women in the UAE? Are there any problems to expect for women in a business environment (negative attitudes by men etc.)?

Thanks a lot!
