Working in United Arab Emirates

Although the United Arab Emirates is not an island, it offers a highly international lifestyle, especially in Dubai. Hospitality, tourism, aviation, retail, events, food and beverage, and luxury services provide many employment opportunities. Dubai is multicultural, modern and fast-paced, with excellent public transport, shopping, beaches, restaurants and year-round events. The climate is extremely hot in summer, while winters are sunny and comfortable. English is widely used in hotels and workplaces, although Arabic is the official language. Most overseas employees need an employment visa sponsored by their employer; the company generally arranges entry approval, medical testing, Emirates ID and residency processing. Candidates should confirm salary, accommodation or allowance, transport, meals, insurance, annual leave and return-ticket terms before accepting an offer. Relocating employees should budget carefully, follow UAE employment laws, respect local customs and dress modestly in public and professional settings.
