Opening a bank account

Hi everyone!

I had recently moved back to Abu Dhabi to live with my parents again (expats) and to look for a job. Considering I’m a dependent, how hard is it to open a bank account? Especially when I’m currently unemployed.

I’d still like to open one as I have been looking for full-time/part-time job.

Is it possible to open a bank account on my own and with no minimum balance? If you know any banks that are easy and quick to set up?

Thank you! Any info would be appreciated:)
