There are around 800,000 Filipinos in United Arab Emirates. More than half of them or around 500,000 live in Dubai. Most Filipinos can be found in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Al Ain. It is also interesting to note that around one-fifth or 20 percent of the population of Dubai are Filipinos. Thus, Filipinos can be seen almost anywhere in Dubai, the capital of UAE. Most overseas Filipino workers in UAE are employed in the architecture, construction, cargo shipping design engineering, energy, information technology, marketing, medical, real estate, retail, telecommunications, and tourism sectors or as domestic helpers. The Philippine Department of Labor and Employment also has two Philippine Overseas Labor Offices (POLOs) in the UAE, in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
