hussam_dakkak,

The closest thing to a taxi driver position I could find in Dubai was
Mechanic.  Do you have any interest in this?

It looks like UAE is a nice place to be a taxi driver!

I lived in Dubai for more than 5 years and have spoken to many taxi
drivers coming mostly from India and Pakistan. I have not met one who
says that they are happy with their job. The work conditions is
horrendous, and honestly speaking, not fair. The wages are extremely
low, while the daily quota is very high. You cannot finish the day
until you reach your quota. I have spoken to many of them who say that
they drive more than 12 hours a day, just to reach their quota. It
might be better than a construction worker's job, but there are still
other opportunities to look at, as every year Dubai needs more and
more workers. Check out this site to see all the recruitment agencies.

Most of them are specialized in finding professionals, but you can
find some agencies specialized in hiring laborers from various Asian
countries.
