Hi there

I am a Chinese lady and am about to be posted to work in Dubai. I am not familiar with the working culture in the Middle East and hence, can anyone share with me on their working experience as a female in Dubai.

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm female and work full time. To be honest, its just like any other city... Working hours are a little longer (average around 9 hours a day), but really depends on your company. Offices are fairly conservative, but really its like working in any city. Out and about, if you are on your own, play it safe as you would anywhere, i.e. dont walk alone at night etc.

Enjoy Dubai!
