Gosh that is horrid behaviour! You should stand up for yourself. It doesn't mean if you are funded you should stay quiet. You are contributing to the UK academic circles and to your university, and thus you have a right to be here just like the rest of us.
Take her aside and give her a piece of your mind. If you feel like you can't do, talk to your supervisor or someone else you can confide in. They sure should help you out.
The Middle East is such a broad term that it is difficult to give you advice unless you are more specific. I have lived in SA and Egypt, and personally I would recommend working there (in general, I'm not so sure about the academic circles). Most of the jobs are tax free, the climate is good, and though the culture is different, people are friendly and generally very accommodating and respectful.
The best bet would be to get a job with the American and British Universities there.
