Working in United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates offers extensive opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, aviation, retail, logistics, technology and construction, especially in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The culture combines Emirati traditions with a highly international population; modest dress and respect for Islamic customs are important. Lifestyle options range from beaches, desert activities and shopping to dining, nightlife and major sporting events. Most overseas employees work under an employer-sponsored residence visa. Employers commonly arrange the work permit, medical examination, Emirates ID and sometimes accommodation, transport or meals, although benefits vary by contract. New arrivals should verify salary, service charge, housing, insurance, annual leave and return-ticket provisions before accepting an offer. The UAE is generally safe and well connected, but living costs can be high, particularly in Dubai. Applicants should use official Marriott channels and never pay recruitment or visa fees to an employer.
