Although most of the jobs mentioned above require professionals and people having a lot of experience in the field, there are also jobs for semi-skilled and semi-professional workers as well. And although Dubai allows foreign workers to work in their territory, most of these workers are only temporary or contractual. Some were not allowed to go back to their own country for at least 3 years or so. Afterwards, if they wish to go back to Dubai again, they must have their contract renewed in order to fly back to the emirate and work. Many still do so because the government of Dubai does not deduct personal taxes. Therefore, their net income is usually higher than the income they could get from their local countries.

The working hours in Dubai companies may vary from forty to forty-eight hours, which of course depends on the policy of the company. The office hour for all type of jobs starts either 8:30 or 9 in the morning. On the other hand, the shift usually ends at 5:30 in the afternoon or 6 in the evening. For the companies that only requires five working days every week, usually give their employees a break during Saturdays. Friday is a weekly holiday since this is considered as a rest day for Muslims.
