Hello and welcome to the forum!

A long time ago, I also wanted to be a pilot but my eye sight failed me!

In regards to pilots in the UAE, I believe that there is a flight school in Dubai. It might be worthwhile to get in contact with them and enquire about current and future vacancies (can't really remember their name - been quite a while since I looked at their website). You could also try the major airlines such as Emirates, Etihad or the other major Middle East Airlines such as Gulf Air and the likes.

A friend of my parents managed to secure a position as Captain with Gulf Air but understandably, his experience was well over 20,000 hours. I think that in order to work as an expat pilot, most airlines would be looking for people with quite a similar level of experience! I think that in view of your 'limited' amount of experience, the best way to go about this would be to contact prospective employers (airlines & flight schools) directly and discuss your experience with them. They would be in a better position to advice you.
