Working in United Arab Emirates

Saadiyat Island is a cultural and leisure destination in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, known for beaches, luxury resorts and attractions such as the Louvre Abu Dhabi and nearby museums and galleries. Hospitality creates opportunities in guest services, food and beverage, housekeeping, culinary operations, spa, engineering, events and management. The culture is welcoming and multicultural, while Islamic customs, modest public dress and respectful behaviour should be observed. Life is generally safe and comfortable, although summer temperatures are extremely hot and housing costs can be high outside employer-provided accommodation. The UAE offers modern transport, shopping and dining, but alcohol is regulated and local laws are strictly enforced. Most overseas employees require an employer-sponsored work and residence visa; the company normally arranges medical testing, Emirates ID processing and work permits. Candidates should confirm salary, housing, transport, insurance, leave and visa terms before relocating.
