Vegetarian is easy

Public transport is not dependable and waiting for a bus in 40-50+C and what seems like 150% humidity is not fun. (and that's what it will be for 5 months of the year). Get a driving license in UK then you won't have to go through what passes for driving school here (which in many cases is a money grab)

Nearly all 5* hotels have bars and once you have a residency permit you can get an alcohol license (provided your employer gives you a letter allowing you do so).
