Default Why are there so few women in Dubai?

From Wikipedia:

"According to the census conducted by the Statistics Center of Dubai, the population of the emirate was 1,422,000 as of 2006, which included 1,073,000 males and 349,000 females"

What's going on? I know that middle eastern countries do not treat women equally as men, but what's going on?

Exactly......I remember reading that the expat worker population outnumbered the natural citizen pop.
