Destination Guide

The United Arab Emirates is not an island, but it is a popular Gulf destination with strong opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, retail, aviation, events and entertainment. Dubai offers an international lifestyle, excellent public transport, modern shopping and dining, beaches, desert activities and year-round hospitality demand. Abu Dhabi provides a slightly quieter pace, major cultural attractions and extensive resort employment. The culture combines Islamic traditions with a highly diverse expatriate community; modest dress and respectful behavior are expected, especially during Ramadan. Summers are extremely hot, while winters are comfortable for outdoor activities. Most overseas employees require an employer-sponsored employment visa, residence permit and medical screening. Do not work on a tourist visa. Employers commonly arrange or support visas, health insurance and sometimes housing or transport. Before relocating, confirm salary, service charge, accommodation, working hours, leave, probation, recruitment fees and contract conditions in writing.
