Working in United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven emirates rather than an island, with Dubai offering especially strong opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, retail, aviation and events. The culture combines Islamic traditions with a highly international lifestyle; modest dress and respectful behaviour are expected in public and during religious occasions. Dubai is modern, convenient and active, with beaches, shopping, dining and desert activities, although summer temperatures are extremely high and living costs can be substantial. Most overseas employees need employer sponsorship, a work permit, entry permit, medical examination and Emirates ID; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Employers may provide accommodation, transport, meals, insurance or flight benefits, so candidates should confirm the complete package before relocating. Russian-speaking hospitality professionals are valuable because the UAE attracts many Russian-speaking visitors. Bring verified qualifications, passport documents and police-clearance paperwork if requested.
