The United Arab Emirates is not an island but a federation of seven emirates, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with extensive coastlines and several resort islands. Hospitality, tourism, aviation, retail, finance, technology, construction and healthcare provide strong employment opportunities, especially for experienced international professionals. UAE culture blends Emirati traditions with a highly international lifestyle; respect for religion, local customs and modest public behavior is important.
