Working in United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates is not an island but a federation of seven emirates, including Ajman, Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Hospitality, tourism, aviation, retail, healthcare, construction, technology and finance provide many employment opportunities, with luxury hotels offering roles for international candidates. The culture blends Emirati traditions with a large expatriate population; modest dress, respect for Islamic customs and awareness of Ramadan practices are important. Lifestyle options range from beaches and shopping malls to desert excursions, water sports and vibrant dining scenes. Employers normally sponsor a work visa, residence permit and medical testing after an employment offer; employees should not work on a tourist visa. Relocating candidates should confirm salary, accommodation, transport, insurance, annual leave and end-of-service benefits in writing. Ajman is generally quieter and more affordable than Dubai, while Dubai is within commuting distance. Summers are extremely hot, so air conditioning and planned outdoor activities are essential.
