Dubai is one of the wealthiest cities in the world and the most highly populated city in the United Emirates; itself one of the richest countries in the world.
It, therefore, stands to reason that there must be a lot of money to be made working in Dubai, especially if you have the right job.
Just to prove the point, I developed a list of the Top 10 Highest Paid Jobs currently/recently available in Dubai.
Of course, if you want to find a job in Dubai, it’s best to go through a recruitment agency with expert local knowledge and connections.
Organizations like Randstad MENA can be essential to finding a job in the far away, affluent climes of Dubai.
1) Director – 1,200,000 AED (£191,051.79)
Obviously, anyone can apply to start a new company and appoint themselves as a director, but the kind of salary we’re talking here requires your directorship to be over a large company.
A business-related degree and years of management experience will put you in good stead for such a position.

While many languages are spoken in Dubai, a grounding in the most widespread, Arabic, would be useful for such a senior position, as it would for any of the further entries on this list.
2) Private Banker (Management/Director level) – 1,020,000 AED (£162,389.28)
Financial expertise is a must here, as you would no doubt expect. But as you will be acting as a financial adviser for some of the richest, most powerful people; in one of the richest, most powerful cities in the world, people skills are a must.
Long term experience as a banker or adviser in high profile positions should go some way to helping you cope with the stress of such a job.
3) Investment analyst – 1,020,000 AED (£162,389.28)
As a vital cog in the investment machine, an investment analyst researches and advises fund managers.
This information plays a key role in deciding what is done with investment portfolios, so expect a certain level of pressure suitable for the role of such importance.
In order to stand a hope of netting a position such as this, you’ll need extensive knowledge of the stock market, along with excellent communication abilities.
4) Research and Development Executive – 960,000 AED (£152,841.44)
As with many such executive jobs, you should expect to be able to display many years of experience in the particular field of expertise that the job requires, as well as excellent communication and people management skills.
The creativity and technical knowledge that you will have utilized in previous research and development related roles will also need to be nurtured in your immediate team/department.
It’s important to be confident in applying your team, as well as your own skills when solving problems.
5) Construction Director – 960,000 AED (£152,841.44)
A crucial cog in the construction machine, the salary for this position reflects its stature and complexity.
In essence, a Construction Director oversees most of a construction company’s particular tasks, from time allocation and the management of sub-contractors, all the way to health and safety policy adherence, a Construction Director must ensure that everything is running smoothly.
As with most top-level jobs, you should have a graduate-level education, a great deal of experience in your chosen field, and expertise at people management, if you are to consider applying for this role.
6) GP – 900,000 AED (£143,220.72)
First of all, you’ll need to be a qualified doctor to apply for this position!
The UK process is to apply for, and pass the UK Clinical Aptitude Test, before successfully completing a degree in medicine… then complete a two-year foundation course of general training.
It is essential that you make sure that your qualifications are accepted by the Dubai Health Authority!
As with previous entries, a familiarity with Arabic is essential; it can be difficult to understand confused or distressed patients at the best of times, and that’s when you do speak the same language!

7) Procurement Specialist (oil and gas, engineering) – 900,000 AED (£143,220.72)
Procurement specialists do as their name would suggest; they source and negotiate for services and goods that benefit their company.
Of course, performing this role in specialist areas such as the oil and gas or construction industries requires further expertise on the part of the applicant, so experience in the relevant industry is a must.
Those without impeccable negotiation and communication skills need not apply; as industries with profits as high as the oil, gas and engineering industries only hire the best!
How to make money in Dubai / 7 Easy Step in 2023
Dubai is a business hub where you can make money a countless number of ways.
Here are some of the rather ‘unconventional’ ways I and my friends have made money.
- Selling things, products or services online or through social media, eBay, Amazon, dubizzle.com or souq.com
- Buying at a discounted price and selling it for a high price
- Buying something second hand when someone is desperate for cash and selling it for its actual value
- Working for exhibitions, conferences, and events
- Taking a stall or space or stand at an exhibition and selling stuff for a higher price
- Offering commissions to your friends for recommending customers or for selling your products
- And finally – Advertising a seminar, course or advice for money (if you are an expert on the subject)
However, one thing I will caution you is to make sure you know what the rules and regulations are OR you may get in trouble with the law and end up paying more than earning.
