Exact duties, benefits and salary for this position should be confirmed directly with the recruiting hotel.
The United Arab Emirates is not an island but a federation of seven emirates, offering extensive opportunities in hotels, tourism, aviation, retail, construction, healthcare, technology and finance. Dubai and Abu Dhabi have the largest international employment markets, while Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and other coastal areas provide growing resort opportunities. The culture is welcoming and multicultural, with Islamic traditions influencing dress, working practices and public behaviour. Lifestyle options range from beaches, desert activities and shopping to museums, restaurants and major sporting events. The climate is very hot in summer, so air-conditioned workplaces and accommodation are important. Most foreign employees need an employer-sponsored residence and work visa; employers commonly arrange the application, medical checks and Emirates ID process. Confirm accommodation, transport, insurance, probation terms and relocation costs before accepting an offer. UAE employment rules and visa requirements can change, so consult official government sources.
