Working in United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates is a major hospitality, tourism and business hub, offering opportunities in hotels, restaurants, resorts, aviation, retail, engineering and facilities management. Abu Dhabi provides a modern, family-oriented lifestyle with beaches, cultural attractions, shopping malls, desert activities and excellent infrastructure. The population is highly international, while local culture places importance on hospitality, modest dress, respect, family values and religious customs. Summer temperatures are extremely hot, so air-conditioned accommodation and transport are important. Employees normally need an employer-sponsored residence visa, work permit and medical examination; the employer usually manages the application process. New arrivals should verify contract terms covering salary, accommodation, transport, insurance, leave and flights. Moving costs, document attestation and initial expenses should be planned in advance. Public transport is improving, although many residents use taxis or private cars. UAE income generally has no personal income tax, but living costs vary considerably by emirate and housing arrangement.
