I don't know the answer to this question, but I would encourage anyone who works in an Arabic country to make the effort to learn a little of the local language, especially the spoken variety of Arabic used in that country. I worked for 5 years in South Korea. At first, I didn't understand anything people said, but I put forth the effort to learn the language. After 3 years of determined personal study, I got to the level of Intermediate Korean, and I was very happy that I was able to connect with Koreans who spoke no English.I encourage you to make a similar effort. You won't be disappointed!

Yes...

For instance, in UAE total population is 9.4 million out of which 8.5 millions or 84% are expatriates mostly from south asia and for eastrean countries. therefore, if you are able to speak english it is sufficent to work in UAE.

Thank you Nancy, for your inspiring answer

 

yes, it is possible...it depends on the field of the job...you have an advantage if you are skilled in more than one language and have previous experience .

 

Dubai(U.A.E) is one of the famous cities in the arab world that provides jobs almost in every field ,i think they have more foreigners there working than natives,i have many of my relatives working there.
