I just finished with the APC there 2 weeks ago, and that offer is 100% current. From speaking with the instructors there, it seems the controllers there are quite disgruntled with the compensation, as they have not received a real raise in 14 years. The reason pay has stagnated is that SZC is run by the government, whereas the TWR/APS are run by other organizations.
The only pro that I can think of is UAE has no income tax. They'll get you in other ways, so I agree that it's not worth it with the current compensation package.
