Working in United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven emirates, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi offering the widest range of opportunities in hospitality, tourism, aviation, retail, finance, technology, healthcare and construction. The culture combines Islamic traditions, Emirati heritage and a highly international population. People generally value politeness, modesty, punctuality and respect for local customs. Lifestyle options range from beaches, desert activities and shopping to restaurants, museums and major entertainment events. The climate is hot for much of the year, with milder winters. Most overseas employees need an employer-sponsored residence visa and work permit; the employer normally arranges medical testing, Emirates ID processing and related formalities. Candidates should verify contract terms, accommodation, transport, insurance and probation conditions before relocating. Costs, especially rent, can be high, although employer-provided housing or allowances are common in hospitality.
