Working in United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven emirates, not a single island, while Yas Island is a major leisure and entertainment destination in Abu Dhabi. Hospitality, aviation, retail, tourism, construction, technology, healthcare and finance offer strong employment opportunities, especially in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. UAE culture combines Arab and Islamic traditions with a highly international workforce; respectful dress, punctuality and awareness of local customs are important. The lifestyle is modern and convenient, with excellent transport, shopping, beaches, restaurants and entertainment, although summers are extremely hot. Most overseas employees need an employer-sponsored work permit and residence visa. Employers commonly arrange medical testing, Emirates ID processing and sometimes accommodation or transport. Before relocating, confirm salary, service charge, housing, insurance, working hours, annual leave and repatriation terms. A passport valid for at least six months and authenticated qualifications may be required.
