Dubai is one of the most interesting places to live in the Persian Gulf area and is more secure and tolerant than any other city in the area: 

women are treated in the same way as men and there is no limitation on clothing like, for example in Saudi Arabia, police and restrictive laws make the city completely devoid of crime and in the city there are plenty of offers in terms of attractions and entertainment, sportsand opportunities to eat out.

How to get a work permit in Dubai ?

To work in Dubai you need a resident visa, a "labor card", i.e. a work certificate and a health card. These documents allow you to remain within the United Arab Emirates for a maximum period of three years, and the qualified professionals and the well established companies will not have difficulty in obtaining it.

Most companies provide all the necessary assistance to their employees to get a visa to work in Dubai, so there is nothing to worry about in this case.

After sending the resume, obviously in English, even better with a letter of recommendation attached, if the company is interested you will make the first interviews through Skype or by phone, although it is also possible that you are asked to go in person.

How is it life to work in Dubai ?

Living in Dubai for work has its advantages: firstly the tolerant nature of the city and the numerous events held throughout the year. The culture is very open, the services are of a high level and often the work environment is at the forefront.

However there are also some disadvantages that need to be taken into account. First of all the weather: Dubai is highly warm four months a year, and suffocating the remaining 8 month. Most of the amusements and leisure activities are done indoors, in the shopping centers, where there is a ski slope, a skating rink, go-kart, games rooms, cinemas, bars and restaurants, all in potentially aseptic environments.

Therefore, the lifestyle is usually on the inside. This is not to say that people do not do it - they do only a few, but it is an exception and not the norm.

Another potential disadvantage of living in Dubai is the fact that people from more than 200 nations live: although this can certainly be culturally enriching, it is possible for some communities to completely avoid contact with the outside, closing in on themselves and making integration difficult.
