Questions people ask before they book
How much does career and relocation support cost in the UAE?
Ruwa packages start at AED 1,200 for Essentials and go up to AED 9,500 for Executive, each a one-time fee with 5% VAT included. Optional add-ons (from AED 350) let you tailor any package. There are no subscriptions or recurring charges.
Which package is right for me?
Choose Essentials if you mainly need a UAE-ready CV, LinkedIn and a clear plan. Choose Professional, our most chosen, for full end-to-end support with interview coaching and introductions. Choose Executive for dedicated, senior advisory across both career and relocation.
Can I pay in instalments?
Available payment methods are shown at checkout. All prices are in AED and include 5% VAT.
Do you help with both career and relocation, or just one?
Both. Ruwa is a UAE career and relocation consultancy, we help professionals already in the Emirates grow their careers, and we guide people moving here through visas, housing and the first 90 days. Many clients use us for both.
What happens after I purchase?
You'll get an order confirmation and a link to book your first session with an advisor. From there we work to a clear plan with set milestones, and you keep the deliverables (CV, roadmap, checklists) for good.

The advisor people wish they had found sooner.
I will always be grateful to Liz for being the one who hired me into G42 more than four years ago. She gave me the opportunity that has shaped my journey ever since. A few years later, I had the chance to return the favor and hire her back into Presight, which felt like paying my debt in the best possible way!
Liz is an absolute legend, genuinely a world-class recruiter. Always goes above and beyond what is expected and feedback from every client she has worked with has been exceptional. On top of this, she is a joy to work with.
Ruwa didn't sell me a service, she gave me a plan, a network, and the confidence to walk into a region I'd never lived in. Two years on, I'm leading a regional team.
The most professional, most human career consultancy I've worked with in 18 years across three continents.
I moved to Dubai with my family and felt held at every step. The community made the city feel like home before we'd unpacked.

The Ruwa story
Two decades in the UAE. Fresh graduate to C-suite. One commitment: people first.
"I built Ruwa because I remember what it felt like to land in a country and feel completely alone. No one should walk into the UAE without a hand to hold and a plan that works."
