Working in United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven emirates rather than an island, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi offering the largest hospitality job markets. Opportunities are common in hotels, restaurants, bars, events, tourism, retail and aviation, especially for candidates with international experience and strong English. UAE culture blends Emirati traditions with communities from around the world; modest dress and respectful behavior are expected in public and during Ramadan. Dubai offers beaches, shopping, nightlife, desert activities and a modern urban lifestyle, although rent and transport can be expensive. Most overseas employees need employer-sponsored residence and work visas; the employer normally arranges medical testing, Emirates ID processing and labor authorization. Candidates should confirm salary, service charge, accommodation, meals, transport, insurance, leave and air-ticket benefits before accepting an offer. Alcohol service is regulated and generally limited to licensed venues.
