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, restaurants, resorts, airlines, events and tourism businesses regularly recruit international staff, particularly experienced managers. The culture is multicultural, respectful and influenced by Islamic traditions; modest dress and sensitivity during Ramadan are appreciated. Lifestyle options range from beaches, shopping and nightlife to desert activities, museums and outdoor excursions. Summers are extremely hot, while winters are pleasant. Employers normally sponsor an employment visa, residence permit and medical testing after an offer; working without the correct permit is not legal. Relocation packages may include accommodation, transport, meals, insurance and annual flights, but these benefits must be confirmed in writing. Applicants should verify contract terms, recruitment fees, probation conditions and accommodation before travelling. Costs vary considerably, with Dubai generally more expensive than other emirates.
