Several months ago Dubai’s economy was considered to be in a state of free fall. While many around the world shrugged their shoulders unconcerned, many foreigners fled the United Arab Emirates. When things slowed down and Dubai was able to get their bearings, they decided to pick up the pace again. Lucky for Dubai, they have somewhat of an economic buffer… a lot of oil. Although their oil accounts for only about 6% of the total revenue in the Emirate, it is enough to give stability to that region to remain economically sane and keeps ugly words like “recessions,” “depression,” and “bail out” out of their vocabulary. Dubai Real estate and construction account for about 26%. Logically, Dubai needs two things: people to live in Dubai and things to build to keep people in the Emirate and keep Dubai job loss to a minimum. To make their economic hiccup even less difficult, Dubai has about 12% of their gross domestic product (GPD) invested in tourism, which is about $1.9 billion of economic activity. The only way to keep their largest economic earners earning is to keep people coming to Dubai.

Travelers Prices Plummet, but Not Dubai Flights

So, again, following the direct path of logic, Dubai simply made it easy and cheap to get to Dubai. Starting on June 1^st there will be inexpensive flights flying from Beirut to Dubai. With Beirut being a major hub airport, the government is hoping that these cheap flights to Dubai will drive more and more people to the Emirate.

Despite the international plummeting numbers of air travelers in February, the Middle East saw a 0.4% increase. Not much of an increase but compared to the 10% decline felt everywhere else in the world, I would be happy with 0.4% any day.

Dubai: Construction without Moderation

This is Dubai’s first budget airline, and could very possibly  be the first ‘budget’ Dubai has ever had. The city saw a meteoric rise, with hugely ambitious projects like the Burj Tower, Atlantis, the Dubai Palm Islands, and the World Islands. Dubai obviously does not believe in building in moderation. Some projects have been completed, but many others are waiting for another economic boom in the region so that construction can begin on the Underwater Hydropolis Hotel and the immense sports stadium city.

There is too much potential in Dubai, a blossoming luxury and architectural capital of the world, to let the fickle economy dictate what gets built and when. The Emirate of Dubai may have been on shaky ground long enough for skeptics to smirk, but with the logically sound plan of using their money to build and make more money they are securing their position as a top world city. Their ability to grow in unfavorable economic times is securing their longevity as a top world vacation destination.

The booming economy in Dubai is leading to major growth in many different job markets. There are many jobs available in Dubai, from construction professionals to nurses, perfect for someone looking to spend some time in a tax free working environment in the most unique and dynamic emirates in the UAE. There are plenty of Dubai jobs to choose from in all kinds of fields including IT, nursing, marketing, accounting and construction.

One interesting development for jobs in Dubai is in the human resources industry. Most of the companies in Dubai are looking for the best human resources professionals to recruit well-qualified, highly experienced international employees. Dubai wants the best employee base working for their top companies to make sure the Emirate has the strongest and most dynamic economy in the world. Dubai believes that a good company is built on good staff and finding good staff is the only way a company will succeed. Many companies offer their best employees high-end Dubai villas or marina apartments as additional incentives.

Human resources jobs in Dubai are increasing and if you have the experience and skills and want to work in a growing and fast moving market, than the Recruitments and Human Resources departments could be the perfect job for you!

The market for Teaching jobs in Dubai is also quickly increasing. The population of Dubai increases everyday and as a result the number of schools have increased over the years as well. The schools that already exist have been forced to expand to make room for the amount of children in Dubai which means there are teaching jobs available in Dubai for those with the experience and qualifications. The children of Dubai are expected to learn English so many schools are always looking for English teachers. Most employment packages for teachers include accommodations and there is plenty of Dubai real estate to choose from!

Like almost anywhere else in the world, there is a very high demand to fill medical and nursing jobs in Dubai. The Dubai hospitals offer great living conditions, salaries, benefits and very generous leave time. Dubai has some of the best hospitals and clinics in the world and they are developing a project called Dubai Healthcare City which will be a regional center of excellence for medical services, education and research.

Dubai is known for its outrageous buildings such as the world’s first underwater hotel, the Hydropolis Hotel Dubai, and the world’s tallest skyscraper, The Burj Dubai Tower. The Emirate wants to have the biggest and the best of everything, which is why jobs in engineering, architecture and construction are always in demand in Dubai. Dubai has plans for future projects that are in development for the next several years. Engineering jobs in Dubai, as well as architects and construction workers will be in high demand until these projects are completed.

There are a number of job opportunities available in Dubai for various job markets. One great thing about working in Dubai is there is no income tax! Direct personal taxes are illegal in Dubai. This will give you more of an opportunity to explore all of Dubai’s attractions such as Ski Dubai and the Wild Wadi Water Park!
