Obtaining employment is very different to the UK! I never supplied references as I wasn't asked to. As for quals, I had what was relevant to the nature of my employment. I would hazard a guess that vehicle technicians are normally Asian (cheap salaries I'm afraid!) so cannot give a definitive answer for a Westerner (I've sent Western guys to Afghanistan but thats VERY risky!!)

Your employer is your sponser in the UAE and therefore responsible for obtaining your visa; some employers will sort out a spouse's visa but not all. The cost of the visa for you is borne by your employer.

The currency is different to Egypt, it's the Dirham here, not the Egyptian Pound.
