Job opportunities for general practitioners in Dubai
There are many job opportunities for GPs(General Practitioners) in different setups but indeed there is a tough competition for good paying jobs. Fresh candidates often complain of job saturation where many facilities expect additional roles beyond just the GP role. GP salary varies widely based on experience, setting (clinic vs hospital), additional skills, and whether you have a full licence versus just eligibility.
GP salaries in Dubai may not be as high as expected if you don't have specialised skills or strong experience. English is mandatory for most clinics. Arabic is often preferred (especially for clinics serving Arabic-speaking populations). Having Arabic is a plus. Some job ads mention Arabic preference.
What are the common things to avoid while searching for jobs?
While searching for GP(General Practitioners) jobs in Dubai, healthcare professional should understand;
- The market saturation that he/she may face in Dubai, where competition is high on available opportunities.

- Visa/relocation conditions, where you should ensure that the employer is providing correct visa and other contract conditions.
- The scam healthcare jobs in Dubai, you should avoid 'too good to be true' offers.
