Over the past few years, the UAE has become a very popular tourist destination, as well as a bucket-list destination for adventurous teachers. Before jumping on a plane to head over there, you’ll most likely do some research to get any outstanding questions answered. It’s important to learn things about the area, the locals, and the culture before throwing yourself into such a new experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

The UAE is located in the Southeast Arabian Peninsula, and it’s bordered by Oman to the east and Saudi Arabia to the south. The United Arab Emirates is composed of 7 emirates:\u00a0Abu Dhabi (the capital), Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al-Quwain. Each emirate is governed by a separate absolute monarchy, and this may or may not come as a big surprise to you, depending on where you’re coming from.<\/span><\/p>\n

The UAE has a population of 9.2 million with an estimated 7.7 million expats living in its borders. The official language in the UAE is Arabic, but English is widely spoken amongst professionals and in the education field.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the UAE, it’s always very warm, even in the winter. It has a subtropical climate where it reaches around 17 degrees Celsius in the morning, and the temperature typically hits around 30+ degrees Celcius by midday. This changes depending on the season, but the temperature very rarely drops below 15 or so degrees Celcius. To sum all of this up, be prepared for an extended summer compared to wherever you’re coming from.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Non-Muslims are the only people allowed to consume alcohol in the UAE. Consuming alcohol is only allowed in licensed areas: Bars, restaurants, club and private venues. In order to drink alcohol in your home, expats have to apply for an alcohol license with their resident permit. There is a zero-tolerance policy for drinking and driving. The minimum drinking age is 18.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be sure to bring a doctor\u2019s note if you\u2019re bringing prescription drugs from your home country. Be sure to alert the authorities before you arrive as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sexual relationships outside of marriage are strictly illegal. Dancing in public is considered indecent. It\u2019s only allowed in clubs or in the privacy of your home. It’s illegal to take pictures of the military, airport, or government installations in the emirate so don\u2019t think of Snapchatting once you arrive.<\/span>
Behaving aggressively, cursing, spitting or using offensive language can result in jail time. Smoking is only allowed in permitted areas. Kissing, hugging and public displays of affection are against the law. It’s fine for a married couple to hold hands in public, but anything else isn\u2019t tolerated.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first working day of the week in the UAE is Sunday and the weekend is over on Saturday. Most of the government and public offices are closed on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Common activities include hot air balloon tours, 4×4 adventures through the desert, and camping overnight with some camels by your side.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re really interested in architecture, you\u00a0will be amazed by some of the world\u2019s most beautiful structures in the UAE. Some structures to see: Burj Al Arab, the world\u2019s 3rd tallest hotel, Dubai has the Burj Khalifa, the world\u2019s tallest building, and the Dubai mall is infamously known for having the only Ski resort inside the desert within it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, the UAE is in the desert but the country has plenty of things to keep you cool. All buildings have A\/C as well there are a number of water theme parks: Aquaventure Waterpark, Dolphin Bay, Wild Wadi Waterpark, Marina Beach and more. Abu Dhabi has a list of activities to do as well: Emirates Palace, Yas Marina Circuit, The Corniche, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Al Ain National Museum.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was helped by Moira, and the support provided to me was second to none. I\u2019m super grateful for the support. Finding a job during this difficult period would\u00a0<\/span>have been a challenge on my own, however, the assistance from Teaching Nomad made the process much easier. They also offered continuous support once I started working. They have been absolutely fantastic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

TN helped me from the very start, which for me was trying to decide which TEFL certification to go with. From there my consultant, Moira, helped me with the documents I needed, gave me resume tips, sent off my profile to various schools even before my certification was complete, and gave me interview tips when the schools wanted to meet me. Thanks to the help Moira and Teaching Nomad provided, I have just signed a contract with a higher than normal salary for a first-time teacher. Now they are helping me out with authenticating my documents and my application for a visa!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
