The women wear the black robes. In Dubai the emirates (locals) are all quite well off as the emirate has a great deal of wealth and all benefit from it. Outsiders perform almost all work.
So although they are muslim they are quite blingy. In the fancy shopping malls you could see emirati women with very blinged out black robes and sporting designer clothes and alot of jewlery underneath. They put on a somewhat modest appearance in public but these are some of most wealthy and extravagant people in the world.
