I hope someone who has been in your situation chimes in, but I know some schools offer accelerated programs for international students to earn their PharmD in the US in shorter duration. This is one that I have come across..but I am sure there are probably others: http://prospective.westernu.edu/pharmacy-pharmd-international/welcome

I know it's not that close to Dubai, but I thought Lebanon had a PharmD program where they take the NAPLEX, too...the Lebanese American University or something? Might be another option...

If i am not mistaken you have to go through the an international concil for education (not sure of the specific name) to see if your credits and coursework is strong enough for a transfer. You then have to look for a school that accepts international credits and feels that your scores are competitive and matches their courses.

Also, I know about two people who came from another country and took their NAPLEX to become a pharmacist. One of them is a registered pharmacists and went back for his pharmD which took him another 2-3 years

Also Dubai is well recognized as a developed industrial country and most likely has a pharmacy council closely associated with the US.
