He knows what
it takes to
build a team.
Leadership experience.
A global perspective.
A personal approach.
From London’s financial markets to leading businesses in the Middle East, Tarik’s career has been built around people, performance and possibility.
Dubai Bound brings that perspective to recruitment: understanding the person behind a profile, the team behind a role, and the connection that can move both forward.

03 / YOUR LIFE, REIMAGINEDDUBAI / UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
A city with
forward motion.
A career move is also a life move. Explore Dubai’s practical advantages, then build a plan around what matters to you.
A different take on take-home pay.
The UAE does not levy personal income tax on employment income. That can change your financial picture — especially when you compare the whole package, not just the headline salary.
The practical details
The standard VAT rate is 5%. Business activities can have different tax treatment, and obligations in another country depend on your circumstances.
A strong focus on safety.
Dubai's official guidance places the safety and wellbeing of residents and visitors at the centre of city life, with dedicated support services and practical information.
The practical details
Use current official travel and safety guidance when planning your move. No destination is risk-free.
A city in your pocket.
From utility bills and housing services to transport and residency services, DubaiNow brings everyday government and private services together in one place.
The practical details
UAE PASS provides a unified sign-in for DubaiNow. Individual service eligibility and requirements still apply.
Ambition has a place here.
Dubai's D33 economic agenda sets a direction for trade, technology, entrepreneurship and business growth — a useful backdrop for professionals thinking about their next chapter.
The practical details
D33 is a development agenda with targets through 2033, not a promise of a job, a salary or investment returns.
More ways to move.
Metro, tram, buses and marine services give residents a range of ways to navigate Dubai. The nol card connects payments across RTA transport modes.
The practical details
Match your neighbourhood to your workplace. Check the actual route, journey time and service coverage before choosing a home.
Room for a different rhythm.
Public beaches, parks, cycling spaces and outdoor destinations give you ways to build a life beyond work. The cooler months are especially suited to spending time outside.
The practical details
Dubai's summer heat changes the daily routine. Quality of life also depends on your working hours, budget, community and personal preferences.
Make the benefits count.
Health insurance is mandatory in Dubai, and employers are responsible for providing it to employees. Look beyond the salary and understand the cover included in your offer.
The practical details
Check the provider network, exclusions, co-payments and dependent cover. Employee cover does not automatically mean every family member is covered by the employer.
Dream big.
Plan the details.
Housing. Healthcare. Your commute. Your community. A great move works on paper and in everyday life.
Build your own comparison Opportunities depend on your experience and the market. A role, visa or particular lifestyle is never guaranteed.
YOUR NUMBERS.YOUR PRIORITIES.
Make the move
make sense.
Compare life now with your Dubai plan. Use actual quotes and your own estimates, in one currency. Everything stays in your browser.
What belongs in your budget?
Include rent, utilities, food, transport, health cover, schooling if relevant and other recurring costs. Use net income after applicable deductions. Keep uncertain bonuses separate.

A LITTLE MORE CLARITYBefore your

Do I need to be in Dubai already?
No. We welcome professionals exploring a move and those already living in the UAE. Tell us your location, timeline and what you are looking for.
Is there a role for every application?
Joining the network starts a conversation. We review your experience against relevant opportunities and contact you when there is a potential fit. An application does not guarantee an introduction or a role.
Who sees my information?
Your application is available to the authorised Dubai Bound team. Your profile and documents are shared with a specific employer only after your separate written consent.
What should I include?
Your experience, skills, achievements, education and a current CV. Add work samples or certifications that demonstrate your expertise. There is no need to include identity documents or bank details.
Is Dubai Bound part of Capital.com?
No. Dubai Bound is an independent talent network led by Tarik Chebib. His career history provides context for his experience; this service is not affiliated with his employers.
