Destination Guide

The United Arab Emirates is not an island, but it offers strong hospitality opportunities in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah and other emirates. Hotels, resorts, restaurants, event venues and tourism companies regularly recruit professionals in events, sales, food and beverage, housekeeping and guest services. Dubai has a multicultural, fast-paced lifestyle, modern infrastructure, excellent restaurants and extensive leisure options, although rent and schooling can be expensive. The culture blends Islamic traditions with an international business environment; modest dress and respect for local customs are important. Most overseas employees require employer-sponsored residence and work visas, usually arranged by the hiring company after a signed offer. Employers may also provide medical insurance, accommodation or an allowance, annual leave and return flights, depending on the contract. Candidates should verify salary, benefits, probation terms and visa sponsorship before relocating.
