American citizens re still liable for US (federal) income taxes on foreign income. There's an exemption of something like $90k and credit for taxes paid to wherever they are, but someone with a $300k salary would owe significant US taxes.

Note that many deductions are not available to non-residents.

Not true of countries that have bilateral tax treaties with the US exempting a higher amount than ~$90k, as for example many Western European countries do.

I doubt the United Arab Emirates has this arrangement... just saying.
