Have you lost your job? Do you have friends who have received their termination/redundancy letter? If yes, I’m sure you want to save your money before you find another job.
While other Dubai hotels are offering Christmas and New Year packages, Arabian Park Hotel is also offering a free meal from December 15 to January 15 to those who have lost their jobs. What a nice idea from Arabian Park Hotel.
I am one of those people affected in the crisis. I lost my job, but this wont stop me from visiting this hotel. Arabian Park hotel may not be the best in dubai, but surely, it will be a great pleasure to experience their hospitality & the priviledge to feel the comfort and relaxation that this hotel offers.

According to the latest news from Gulfnews, Nakheel’s spokesperson described the decision as a responsible action in light of the current global market conditions.
“We have the responsibility to adjust our short term business plans to accommodate the current global environment. The redundancies are indeed regrettable, but a necessity dictated by operational requirements which are in turn dependent on demand,” added the spokesperson.

All the affected employees were provided a redundancy package, which includes outplacement support services to assist in this time of transition.
All other major developers have earlier said they are revising headcount downwards, as business activities in Dubai’s real estate has come close to a near halt.
Analysts say this is the beginning of a massive job cut across the real estate market.
“This is not the end, but the beginning and we do not know when it will end,” said property analyst Sudhir Kumar, managing director of Realtors’ International.
“In a situation like this, when lack of funds cut short economic activities, companies have to tighten their belts.
“We anticipate others will follow suit in announcing more job cuts.”
