Working in United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates is not an island, but Fujairah is a coastal emirate on the Gulf of Oman, known for beaches, mountains, diving and a more relaxed atmosphere than Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Hospitality, tourism, retail, aviation, construction, healthcare and technology provide many job opportunities, particularly in hotels and resorts. UAE workplaces are multicultural and professional, while local culture values courtesy, modest dress, family traditions and respect for Islamic customs. Fujairah offers a quieter lifestyle, outdoor activities and generally lower living costs than Dubai, although accommodation and transport should be confirmed with the employer. Most overseas employees require an employment visa sponsored by the company, including medical testing and an Emirates ID process. Employers often provide accommodation, meals, transport, health insurance and annual leave. Bring authenticated qualifications when required and check contract terms carefully before relocating.
