Claiming compensation for a declined job offer

Hello,

I got a job offer letter in July 2018 for internal medicine specialist position at a hospital in the UAE.

After receiving the offer letter, I obtained the license in August 2018 and paid a fee amount of AED 3020. Then I got from the same hospital's job offer agreement and visa application form to fill.

I was supposed to start in November 2018. I was asked also to finish my notice period in the previous hospital. When everything was done, the hospital decided to put my position on hold.

Since then I am jobless and still waiting to start my employment according to the job offer agreement. Do I have any rights for compensation?

Thank you
