The United Arab Emirates is not an island nation, but Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah offers a resort-style coastal lifestyle with beaches, water activities, shopping, dining, and major attractions nearby. Hospitality is one of the country’s largest employment sectors, with opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, events, retail, and aviation.
