There is a large population of South Africans in the United Arab Emirates estimated at between 40000 and 100000 as of 2008. Time Out magazine estimated that 50000 South Africans resided in Dubai alone as of 2009. The influx of South Africans has been so large as to lead South African newspaper Independent Online to unofficially dub the United Arab Emirates South Africa’s 10th province.
