Working in United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates is not an island, but it offers strong opportunities in hotels, resorts, facilities management, construction, aviation, retail and tourism. Ras Al Khaimah is quieter and more relaxed than Dubai, with beaches, mountains, desert activities and a growing hospitality sector. UAE culture is welcoming and multicultural, while Islamic customs, modest public behavior and respect for local traditions are important. Lifestyle is modern, with reliable services, shopping, international restaurants and extensive expatriate communities. Employers normally arrange an employment visa, work permit, medical examination and Emirates ID after hiring; employees should not work on a tourist visa. Confirm who pays visa, flights, accommodation, transport, insurance and end-of-service benefits before accepting an offer. The climate is hot for much of the year, so air-conditioned workplaces and suitable outdoor clothing are essential. A passport valid for at least six months and authenticated qualifications may be required.
