Try setting your homepage to:

http://www.google.com/ncr

It's probably going based on your physical location.

You could probably use the host file to redirect it to google.com. I think that would be the easiest solution.

you can read this, and try searching for a few other examples: http://www.allthingsmarked.com/2006/...he-hosts-file/

This basically tells you how to block a site using host files, but if you can get the ip of google, you should be able to use that as the default and use the google.ae as the blocked.
