Working in United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates is not an island, but it offers strong opportunities in hospitality, tourism, retail, aviation, construction, technology and security, especially in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The culture blends Emirati traditions with a large international workforce; modest dress, respectful behavior and awareness of Islamic customs are important. Lifestyle options range from desert activities and beaches to shopping, dining and cultural attractions. Most overseas employees require an employer-sponsored employment visa, with medical testing, Emirates ID registration and residency processing normally arranged after arrival. Do not work on a tourist visa. Employers may provide accommodation, transport, meals, health insurance and airfare, so confirm these details before accepting an offer. Abu Dhabi is generally safe and well connected, although summer heat is intense. Bring certified documents and budget for initial expenses while waiting for your first salary.
