Working in United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven emirates, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah, rather than a single island destination. Hospitality, tourism, aviation, retail, events, finance, healthcare and technology provide many employment opportunities. The culture combines Emirati traditions, Islamic values and a highly international expatriate community. Daily life offers modern housing, shopping, beaches, desert activities and excellent infrastructure, although summer temperatures are extremely high and living costs can be substantial in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Alcohol is regulated and local customs, modest dress in appropriate settings and respectful behavior should be observed. Foreign employees normally require an employer-sponsored residence and work visa, medical testing and an Emirates ID. UAE Nationals benefit from Emiratisation initiatives and may receive additional career support. Relocating candidates should confirm accommodation, transport, insurance, visa sponsorship and end-of-service benefits before accepting an offer.
