The United Arab Emirates is not an island but a federation of seven emirates, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi offering the largest number of hospitality opportunities. Hotels, resorts, restaurants, airlines, tourism companies and entertainment venues regularly recruit international staff. The culture combines Islamic traditions with a highly international lifestyle; modest dress and respect for local customs are important, particularly during Ramadan. Residents enjoy modern shopping centres, beaches, desert excursions, water sports and diverse international dining. Summers are extremely hot, while winter offers comfortable outdoor weather. Employment visas are normally sponsored by the employer, who generally arranges work permits, medical checks and residency processing. Candidates should confirm contract terms, accommodation, transport, insurance, working hours and gratuity before relocating. Living costs can be high, especially in Dubai, although many hotel roles include housing or an allowance. English is widely used in the workplace.
