As the official language of the UAE, Arabic language plays a large role in day to day life here. Whilst having the ability to speak or write Arabic is far from essential here, for non-native speakers of the language it could really set you apart in business and really set you apart from the others. As with all languages there are many dialects, but the most common one for the region is simply Gulf Arabic. Add Arabic to your repertoire and seriously boost you career in the UAE.
