Because its Tax Free you moron, the standard of living is first class, year round sunshine and if you read up a bit more you would realise Dubai's economy is booming.
Idiot
I want to work outside of the US. Since I'm a Creative, I need a place where business is done in a language I'm fluent in. I've visited Dubai and liked it.
Thanks for the sites. I was really hoping for an actual contact (either a headhunter or agency), though. Know of any?
English. I'm ok in Spanish, too, but not fluent.
Arabic... not so much. I'd love to learn, but I've been told that English is the language of advertising in Dubai.

English is the language of advertising in DUbai because there are only very few Arabic creative people. Concepts are usually created and layedout in English and then Arabised, that's where it loses some or maybe more of it's creativeness. Add to that, you have to have Arabic in every outdoor, or the municipality will not approve it. When you have a dual language Ad Ara bic should be first, and in most cases the concept is in English, this is where the loss of messages comes from. In this part of the world, people should think the other way round, concepts should be thought and put in Arabic and then done in English, because in so many cases Ideas done in a cultural background different from the one common in Dubai, in other cases concepts done in English, and it does not work in Arabic. that all cause because Arabs are not into this business as they should be, in a metropolitan city like Dubai, both mentalities (weestren and eastren) should think togather to come with brilliant ideas.

I am looking to do the same: move from NY to Dubai and I don't know where to start.
The difference is, I am looking for branding strategy work, not advertising and not design.
Anyone knows the good branding agencies in Dubai?
How is Landor over there? good?

Yeah, what's the process in moving to Dubai? As a Creative Director, is it all about knowing someone more than having a job opening in Dubai? Or is it pretty much procedural, where you apply for a job like anyone else?

Hi all
I am a Network Professional and wants to relocate to UAE. Can anyone help me out in this regards and give me some addresses of recruitment agencies so that i may contact them for my future.
Azfar
i think JALAN you should consider working out side the US coz we've been seeing ads coming from the US that dont tell good about the creativity there..!! pretty weird thou..
Dubai is an interesting place to work in. I was born there and lived there all my life but there seems to be an impression that is similar among many of you. Do you even know if you'll settle in? Its a great thing people are interested. Its just that there may be things you need to consider. I mean seriously NY to Dubai..I'll understand if you really had a clear insight.

To all people seeking employment in Dubai, just make sure you do your calculation as to accomodation cost. Employers are giving packages and when you go to find an apartment here comes the surprise, just an FYI.

U.A.E is booming right now. Job offers are way more interesting then the ones in the states. Tax free, offers include accommodations and transportation. My field is in the hospitality industry. Does anyone knows a headhunter company or a recruiting agency that specializes in hospitality. Thank you

Hey dude.. DO NOT! COME HERE..
I'm in Dubai since childhood. Here, its all discrimination. There is lots & lots of discrimination between ARABS-ASIANS-NATIONALS.
Salaries are like peanuts, Legal issues regarding visas/employment etc.
I had many friends, 90% have gone to Canada or US. Atleast after staying for there 10 years you will get the nationality but here forget it.
SO MY ADVICE TO YOU, THINK 100 TIMES B4 U LAND HERE..
