Working in United Arab Emirates

Al Marjan Island is a man-made waterfront destination in Ras Al Khaimah, about 45 minutes from Dubai International Airport. Hospitality offers the strongest employment opportunities, including hotel operations, food and beverage, sales, revenue management, events, spa, engineering and guest services. The UAE is multicultural and generally welcoming, but employees should respect local Islamic customs, dress appropriately in public areas and observe regulations on alcohol, photography and public behaviour. Lifestyle benefits include beaches, water sports, desert activities, modern shopping, restaurants and a quieter pace than Dubai. UAE employers commonly arrange an employment visa, medical examination, Emirates ID and health insurance; confirm sponsorship and benefits before accepting an offer. Relocating employees should budget for deposits, transport and initial accommodation. Summers are extremely hot, while winter offers more comfortable outdoor living.
