Working in United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven emirates, not an island, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi offering the largest concentration of aviation, logistics, hospitality, technology and security jobs. The culture blends Arab and Islamic traditions with a highly international population; respectful dress, public behaviour and observance of local laws are important. Lifestyle is modern and convenient, with excellent infrastructure, beaches, shopping, restaurants and desert activities, although summer temperatures are extremely high and living costs can be substantial. Most foreign employees require employer-sponsored residence and work visas; companies commonly arrange medical testing, Emirates ID processing and work permits. Before relocating, confirm salary, accommodation or housing allowance, transport, insurance, leave and end-of-service benefits. A passport, authenticated qualifications, police clearance and medical records may be requested. Dubai’s public transport is strong, while car ownership can be useful outside central areas.
