Working in United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates is not an island but a federation of seven emirates, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi offering the largest number of hospitality, tourism, retail and service-sector jobs. Opportunities are especially strong in hotels, restaurants, resorts, theme parks, aviation and events. The culture is international, while Islamic traditions influence dress, public behavior and working practices; respectful, modest conduct is expected. Life in Dubai is modern and convenient, with excellent transport, shopping and entertainment, although rent and summer temperatures can be high. Employers normally sponsor a work visa, residence permit and medical assessment for overseas hires. Candidates should confirm who pays visa costs, accommodation, transport, meals, insurance and airfare before accepting an offer. Bring verified certificates and passport documents, and budget for initial personal expenses. Dubai is well connected globally, making relocation relatively straightforward for eligible workers.
