Destination Guide

The United Arab Emirates is not an island but a federation of seven emirates, offering extensive opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, aviation, retail, construction, healthcare and technology. Ras Al Khaimah has a quieter, more relaxed lifestyle than Dubai, with beaches, mountains, desert activities and a growing resort sector. The culture is multicultural and generally respectful, while Islamic customs, modest public behavior and local laws should be observed. Most expatriate employees receive employer-sponsored work visas, medical checks, Emirates ID processing and sometimes accommodation, meals or transport. Before relocating, confirm the contract, benefits, probation terms and visa sponsorship. Living costs vary considerably; accommodation is usually the largest expense. Summers are extremely hot, but indoor facilities and air-conditioned transport are widely available. English is common in workplaces, while Arabic is the official language.
