Dubai as a cultural hub:

More than 80% of Dubai’s residents come from abroad, which means that in addition to exploring the vibrant UAE culture, students also have the chance to immerse themselves in a diverse array of other cultures. Being in the UAE offers students the chance to explore a multitude of different cultures without having to travel abroad. This exposure to various cultural backgrounds aids in cultivating in our students a profound sense of respect, tolerance, and understanding, all of which are indispensable attributes in the contemporary interconnected global landscape.  

Weather in Dubai:

Dubai boasts a desert climate, which means it’s sunny and warm throughout most of the year. Winters are pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 17°C to 30°C (63°F to 86°F), making it perfect for outdoor activities. Summers can be hot, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C (104°F), but many establishments are well-equipped with cooling systems. Dubai’s weather caters to a variety of lifestyles, from beachgoers to outdoor enthusiasts. 

The warm weather in Dubai is a dream come true for someone like me who loves outdoor sports. The city has everything to keep me active and entertained.
