Random Walks - UAE
Overview |
 |
Itinerary Description |
The UAE does everything "big". From the world's largest tower, to the world's largest aquarium, to indoor skiing, Dubai has taken tourism to a new level. The UAE trip gives students a unique glimpse of what makes this global travel/communications/business hub special. In addition to visits to the beach and an evening desert safari in Dubai, students will have a chance to take a trip to Abu Dhabi, the wealthiest and most conservative of the Emirates. Students will have a chance to learn and ask questions about Islam as part of Dubai's unique "open doors, open minds" program. |
