Working in United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates is not an island, but it offers strong hospitality opportunities, particularly in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah. Hotels, resorts, restaurants, events and tourism companies regularly recruit experienced professionals in purchasing, finance, operations and guest services. The culture is multicultural and generally welcoming, with Islamic traditions, modest public behavior and respect for local customs expected. Dubai offers a fast-paced lifestyle, excellent transport, beaches, shopping and diverse international communities, though housing and schooling can be expensive. Employers normally arrange a residence visa and work permit after an offer is accepted; employees should not work on a tourist visa. Confirm medical checks, health insurance, accommodation, flights, gratuity and dependent sponsorship in the contract. A passport valid for at least six months and authenticated qualifications may be required. Research the employer and total living costs before relocating.
