Working in United Arab Emirates

Although the UAE is not an island, it offers a diverse lifestyle across Abu Dhabi, Dubai and the other emirates. Hospitality, tourism, aviation, retail, finance, construction and technology provide many job opportunities, with major international hotel groups regularly recruiting. UAE culture combines Islamic traditions, Emirati heritage and a highly international population; respectful dress and behaviour are expected, especially during Ramadan. Lifestyle options range from beaches, desert activities and malls to cultural sites, restaurants and outdoor sports. Employers normally arrange an employment residence visa, work permit, medical examination and Emirates ID, while dependants may be sponsored subject to salary and documentation requirements. Relocating employees should confirm accommodation, transport, insurance, annual leave and flight benefits in the contract. Abu Dhabi is generally family-friendly, safe and spacious, though summer heat, rent and commuting costs should be considered.
