The United Arab Emirates is not an island, but Dubai is a coastal city with beaches, islands and a highly international lifestyle. Hospitality, tourism, construction, aviation, retail and facilities management offer many employment opportunities, especially in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. UAE culture blends Emirati traditions with a large expatriate community; modest dress and respect for Islamic customs are expected. Life is modern and convenient, though rent, transport and summer temperatures can be demanding. Employers normally arrange a work permit and residence visa after an accepted offer; employees should not work on a tourist visa. Confirm whether accommodation, meals, transport, medical insurance and flights are included in the contract. Relocating staff should prepare passport documents, certificates and medical screening, and budget for initial expenses. Public transport is strong in Dubai, while taxis and cars remain common.
