Working in United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates is not an island, but a Gulf country known for Dubai, Abu Dhabi and coastal resort destinations. Hospitality offers many opportunities in hotels, restaurants, bars, catering, tourism and events, especially for candidates with international experience and strong English skills. UAE workplaces are multicultural, professional and service focused. Dubai provides a fast-paced lifestyle, modern infrastructure, beaches, shopping, nightlife and extensive dining, although rent and transport can be expensive. Islamic traditions influence public behaviour, dress and working practices; alcohol is served only in licensed venues. Most expatriate employees require an employer-sponsored residence and work visa, with the company commonly arranging medical testing, Emirates ID processing and a work permit. Employers may provide accommodation or an allowance, meals, transport, medical insurance and annual flights, depending on the contract. Candidates should confirm salary, service charge, housing, probation, leave and visa terms before relocating.
