To find the right job in Dubai you have 3 options:

You found work: what about the visa?
Upon signing the contract, the employer becomes your “sponsor” and is responsible for the payment of recruitment fees under the United Arab Emirates Labor Act. The sponsoring company completes the formalities related to health care, the identity card for residents of the United Arab Emirates (Emirates ID), the work card and the stamping of the work permit on your passport.
During the job search is there any risk for fraud on contracts and visas?
Yes, but you can identify them by following the directions provided by the Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation. You can, for example, verify the validity of the job offer received on the MOHRE website (job request service – status of the application) or ensure that the company legally exists by consulting the national economic register.
Can you start working with a tourist visa?
Absolutely not: if a company offers you a job in the United Arab Emirates, it must provide you with an offer letter released by MOHRE, the Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation of the United Arab Emirates. In no case will you be allowed to work with tourist visa, in that case you would face severe sanctions and immediate expulsion!
