Destination Guide

The United Arab Emirates is not an island, but Ras Al Khaimah is a coastal emirate with beaches, mountains, desert activities and a quieter lifestyle than Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Hospitality offers opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, tourism, events and supporting departments such as finance, engineering and housekeeping. The culture is multicultural and welcoming, while Islamic customs, modest public behavior and respect during Ramadan should be observed. The lifestyle is generally safe and convenient, with modern shopping, healthcare, transport and leisure facilities. Employers normally sponsor an employment visa, residence permit and medical fitness process for overseas hires; contracts may also include accommodation, transport, insurance and annual leave. Candidates should confirm visa sponsorship, probation, salary, gratuity, housing and flight provisions before accepting. A passport, authenticated qualifications where relevant and a clear medical and security record may be required for relocation.
