What kind of contract must I get in the UAE?

In the UAE all private-sector contracts must now be fixed-term (limited). This is under Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, in force on 2 February 2022. Your contract must state your job title, wage, hours, term length and who pays your ticket, and it must be registered with MOHRE. Make sure the wage on the MOHRE contract is the amount you will actually be paid. Do not sign a blank contract or one that differs from what you agreed. Keep a copy. The term can be renewed or extended. Free zones like DIFC and ADGM have their own separate rules.
