Dubai is the most famous city in the United Arab Emirates
located in the Middle East. It is a multicultural place
where people from all over the world come to live and
work together. Because of the good employment opportunities
and high quality of child there are many people in
different countries seeking employment in Dubai.
Dubai does not merely often good salaries and a nice
place to live. There are several financial and life style
advantages that are available to the residents that make
it a very attractive place.
The major attraction for people who have an employment
in Dubai is that there are no personal taxes levied against
salaries. Therefore, in that respect once you get your
salary in hand you own nothing to the government. This
results in more disposable income per capita.
Many industries in the Middle East and specifically in
he United Arab Emirates (UAE) offer a good chance of gaining
employment in Dubai because of rapidly growing business.
Some of these industries are telecommunication, information
technology, construction, engineering, oil and gas, media,
and medicine.
There are several expatriate forums on the Internet.
These forums (or message boards) contain several postings
that deal with employment in Dubai. They also deal
with pertinent questions like how good life really is
when seen from the ground level. Is all that hype about
Dubai true or is the United Arab Emirates just doing some
very polished media advertising to show Dubai in a good
light. Plenty of personal experiences can be found in
these forums.
Of course, there are general questions like "What
should I expect?" These cannot be answered accurately
or completely because working hours vary from one industry
to the next. One thing that must be understood that employment
in Dubai is not exploitative in nature.
Pay scales also vary from industry to industry, just
like in any other city, and are determined mostly by the
nature of work. In Dubai manual work is not popular among
the locals so jobs involve manual work or other employment
opportunities that might not rank high socially actually
pay quite well.
High-ranking jobs will naturally have much higher salaries
and better benefits. There are also concerns about holiday
entitlement, employee rights, overtime pay, sick leave,
and maternity leave. All these issues are well documented
and follow strict, well established regulations. What
this means is that the employee's rights are well protect
and there is no ill treatment.
Working in Dubai will mean exposure to great working
environments and modern, futuristic, spacious, and comfortable
office. There are many dining places and the public transportation
system is well organized for easy movement in the city.
After a hard day's work, expatriates who have gained
employment in Dubai are free to enjoy duty-free shopping,
the nightlife, sports, and other activities that Dubai
is well known for.
For people moving with families, rental accommodation
is easy to find. Residential areas are secured with very
little crime. In 2002, United Arab Emirates permitted
foreign residents to own property in Dubai. You can now
own your home in Dubai.
There are some excellent schools available for children
in the education stage. While getting admission can be
difficult, it is not impossible. Dubai has very high educational
standards.
All said, Dubai is a good destination for people seeking
change.
