Jobs are available in aviation, technology, engineering, construction, finance, hospitality, healthcare and logistics. The culture combines Arab and Islamic traditions with a highly international working environment; respectful dress and behaviour are expected, especially during Ramadan. Life is modern and convenient, with excellent infrastructure, restaurants, shopping, beaches and desert activities, although housing and schooling can be expensive. Most expatriates work under employer-sponsored residence visas, while the employer usually arranges work permits and medical checks. Dependants may qualify for sponsorship subject to salary and documentation requirements. Candidates should confirm accommodation, health insurance, flights, gratuity and relocation allowances before accepting an offer. Dubai is energetic and cosmopolitan, while Abu Dhabi is generally quieter and more spacious.
