Working in United Arab Emirates

Although the UAE is not an island, Abu Dhabi is an island city connected to the mainland by bridges and surrounded by coastal communities. Hospitality offers many opportunities in hotels, restaurants, resorts, catering, events and airport services, particularly in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The culture blends Emirati traditions with a large international workforce; modest dress, courtesy, punctuality and respect for Islamic customs are important. Lifestyle options include beaches, shopping malls, desert activities, museums and diverse international dining. Most overseas employees require an employer-sponsored residence visa and work permit, with medical screening and Emirates ID registration normally arranged after arrival. Confirm the written offer, benefits, accommodation, transport, insurance and recruitment fees before traveling. Summers are extremely hot, so air-conditioned housing and transport are valuable. English is widely used in hospitality, while Arabic is the official language.
