Or at least they did three years ago, they may have gone back a bit in that time, but doubtful.

Dubai is the only country I know abit about in the Middle East. One of my cousins has kids there too and she's always putting pictures of them up on FB, they wear a uniform for school and it looks like a normal school uniform. Infact I just checked her account and she's put a photo up of them all on a beach there where there was some sort of after sports picnic going on. It looks no different to a beach scene you would see in Spain or whatever, both boys/girls/women/men wearing normal beach stuff
