The United Arab Emirates is not an island, but Abu Dhabi is an emirate made up of mainland areas and numerous islands. Hospitality, tourism, aviation, retail, catering, events and hotel operations offer frequent employment opportunities, especially in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The culture combines Emirati traditions with a highly international population; modest dress and respect for Islamic customs are important. Lifestyle is modern and convenient, with excellent transport, shopping, beaches and restaurants, although summers are extremely hot and housing can be expensive. Employees normally need an employer-sponsored residence visa and work permit; medical checks and Emirates ID registration are standard. Employers may provide accommodation, transport, meals, insurance or annual flights, but benefits vary, so contracts should be reviewed carefully. Relocating workers should budget for deposits, document attestation and initial living costs.
