I don't know your situation or if you already have an offer there but usually people go to the main airlines of the Middle East with 5-6 years of previous airline experience (unless you're a local of course).
The 14 exams are for CPL conversion not ned for ATPL. I think 1 or 2 exams for the ATPL. You are correct UAE is not really a place to get your first job only airline that take freshers there are air Arabia and Flydubai but it cost with a cost.
