Ethiopian Maid in Dubai. Hiring Guide, Salary and Everything You Need to Know
An Ethiopian maid in Dubai typically earns AED 1,000 to AED 1,600 per month for a live-in housemaid role in 2026, sits within a Tadbeer package of roughly AED 10,000 to AED 14,000 for a two year cycle, and comes to the UAE under the bilateral labour framework Ethiopia and the UAE first re-established after Ethiopia's December 2018 deployment ban and now govern under Ethiopia's Overseas Employment Proclamation No. 1389/2025, which replaced the earlier Proclamation No. 923/2016. Families in Dubai and Sharjah increasingly turn to Ethiopian domestic workers because the price point is materially lower than a Filipino maid in Dubai, availability is growing, and Ethiopian housemaids have a reputation among UAE employers for thorough cleaning work.
