Working in United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates is not an island, but it offers coastal resort living, beaches and many hospitality opportunities. Major employment centres include Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah and Fujairah, with demand in hotels, restaurants, engineering, tourism, retail and construction. UAE culture blends Emirati traditions with a large international community; modest dress, respectful behaviour and awareness of Islamic customs are important. Lifestyle can include modern shopping, outdoor activities, desert excursions and water sports, although summers are extremely hot. Most overseas employees require an employer-sponsored employment visa, residence permit, medical test and Emirates ID. Employers commonly provide accommodation or a housing allowance, transport, medical insurance and annual leave, but benefits vary by contract. Candidates should verify salary, working hours, gratuity, accommodation and recruitment fees before accepting an offer. Ras Al Khaimah generally offers a quieter and less expensive lifestyle than Dubai.
