The UAE has many fine hotels operated by familiar chains (e.g. Hyatt, Hilton, Sheraton, etc.)
What about schools?
Adult Education - expatriates who want to take degree/diploma courses (e.g. RN diploma to BScN, MBA, etc.) usually take distant education or online courses through institutions in their own country, since most colleges and universities now offer this type of program. However, there are a number of colleges and universities in the UAE that have foreign connections, e.g. The American University in Sharjah.Children's Education - If a person is eligible for a married status contract (generally all doctors and senior health administrators), the contract usually covers education of two to three dependent children (depending on the employer). The amount of coverage is capped, so the full cost of education may not be covered depending on the child's age and the institution the child attends. Also, coverage is only from grade one to 12. Preschool and kindergarten classes are available but are not covered in the contracts. The children of expatriates attend local private schools (e.g. the American School of Dubai, the Abu Dhabi Grammar School (Canada), The American International School in Abu Dhabi, etc.) or are sent to boarding school abroad.

There are also internet cafes in the cities and computers at the hospital. All internet traffic in the UAE is processed through centralized servers that filter content that is contrary to Islamic values, so some sites will not be available, such as those with sexually explicit content, some entertainment sites, etc.SalariesSalaries are very generous in the Middle East and generally vary with experience and seniority. Medical Specialists in most hospitals earn a salary package over US$200,000. Senior physicians in large hospitals may earn substantially more than this. Please enquire for further information about working in the Gulf Region.

About Dubai
History
Originally a small fishing settlement, Dubai was taken over in about 1830 by a branch of the Bani Yas tribe from the Liwa oasis led by the Maktoum family who still rule the emirate today.
Traditional activities included herding sheep and goats, cultivating dates, fishing and pearling, but the inhabitants built up trade too. By the turn of the century, Dubai was reputed to have the largest souks on the Gulf coast, with 350 shops in the Deira district alone. Commercial success allied to the liberal attitudes of Dubai's rulers, made the emirate attractive to traders from India and Iran, who began to settle in the growing town. But, while trade developed, Dubai remained politically a protectorate of Britain as part of the Trucial States extending along the northern coast of the Arabian peninsula. On the British withdrawal in 1971, Dubai came together with Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah and (in 1972) Ras Al Khaimah to create the federation of the United Arab Emirates. This was shortly after the discovery of oil in 1966, which was soon to transform the emirate and its way of life. Dubai's first oil exports in 1969 were followed by a period of rapid development that laid the foundations for today's modern society. Much of the credit for this development can be traced to the vision of the late Ruler, HH Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, who ensured that Dubai's oil revenues, despite being relatively modest by the standards of the region, were deployed to maximum effect.
Climate
The UAE has a sub-tropical, arid climate. Rainfall is infrequent and irregular. Falling mainly in winter, it amounts to some 13 centimetres a year. Temperatures range from a low of about 10 degrees Celsius to a high of 48 degrees Celsius. The mean daily maximum is 24 degrees in January rising to 41 degrees in July.
Languages
The official language is Arabic. English is widely understood and ranks alongside Arabic as the language of commerce.
International Relations
The UAE became a member of the United Nations and the Arab League in 1971. It is a member of the International Monetary Fund, the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), World Trade Organisation and other international and Arab organisations, including the Arab Gulf Co-operation Council (AGCC), whose other members are Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait. In its foreign relations, the UAE's stance is one of non-alignment but it is committed to the support of Arab unity.
Population
According to the Ministry of Planning, the population of the U.A.E. expanded from 2,411,041 (census results) in 1995 to 4.3 million 2004.
Government
Federation of seven autonomous Emirates. The highest federal authority is the Supreme Council of Rulers comprising the absolute rulers of the seven Emirates. Decisions reached by the Council must have the agreement of at least five members, including Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the two largest members. The council appoints a President to act as Head of State. There are no political parties.
Head of State: President Sheikh Khalifa since 2004.
Head of Government: Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum since January 2006.
Recent history: Following the sudden death of Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, who had been Prime Minister and Emir of Dubai since 1990, Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, his brother, succeeded him in January 2006. Sheikh Mohammed had been the UAE Defence Minister since 1971 and heir apparent to the throne of Dubai since 1995.
