Flexibility for shifts, weekends, and public holidays is essential. Additional language skills and formal hospitality training may be beneficial.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts, and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other international destinations. The brand is known for personalised service, elegant surroundings, and its welcoming philosophy, often expressed through the idea of Shangri-La hospitality. Its properties offer accommodation, restaurants, cafés, wellness facilities, meetings, and events. In the United Arab Emirates, Shangri-La operates prominent luxury hotels serving leisure travellers, business guests, and local residents. Employees typically work in a multicultural environment with structured service standards and opportunities to develop careers in hospitality. Benefits for overseas employees may include accommodation or a housing allowance, meals, transport, healthcare, leave, and return airfare, depending on the property and employment contract.
The United Arab Emirates is not an island but a federation of seven emirates, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Ras Al Khaimah. Hospitality, tourism, aviation, retail, healthcare, construction, technology, and finance provide strong employment opportunities. The culture blends Islamic traditions with a highly international lifestyle; modest dress and respectful behaviour are important, especially during Ramadan. Life offers modern housing, shopping, beaches, restaurants, public transport, and desert activities, although summer temperatures are extremely high. Most expatriates require employer-sponsored residence and work visas. The employer normally arranges the work permit, medical checks, Emirates ID, and related processing, while the employee must not work for another company without approval. Relocation packages vary, so confirm accommodation, transport, insurance, flights, and gratuity before accepting an offer. Costs are highest in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, while other emirates can be more affordable.
