Pre-Departure Guide for GCC Workers
Before traveling to the UAE or other GCC countries, domestic workers need to understand what to expect — from climate and culture to workplace rights and daily routines. This pre-departure training module prepares workers for a smooth transition into their new household environment.
The module covers essential topics: UAE weather (temperatures exceeding 45°C in summer), cultural norms (dress codes, religious practices, social etiquette), basic Arabic greetings, understanding employment contracts, worker rights under MOHRE regulations, and practical tips for the first weeks in a new household.
Key Pre-Departure Takeaways
- UAE climate preparation: extreme heat management, hydration, appropriate clothing
- Cultural awareness: Islamic customs, Ramadan etiquette, privacy and modesty expectations
- Basic Arabic: greetings (Marhaba, Shukran), household item vocabulary, numbers
- Worker rights: MOHRE contract protections, rest days, salary payment, dispute resolution
- Document checklist: passport, visa, Emirates ID, medical certificate, insurance card
