Go to question pageThe selection of souvenirs in Dubai is so great that the eyes run away. In the Gold Market you will find exquisite jewelry at attractive prices. I was impressed by the craftsmanship and detail of the work of local jewelers. Dates are an integral part of Arab culture, and in specialty stores you will find dozens of varieties, from royal medjul to exotic sugar dates stuffed with nuts or chocolate. Arabic spices and incense are great gifts for culinary lovers. I brought home a mixture of spices for machbus and a traditional incense smoke, which still reminds me of oriental bazaars. Camel leather products, carpets, ceramics and traditional clothing such as abaya and kandura are also popular.

Go to question pageEducation in Dubai blends tradition with modern approaches. Public schools are free for UAE citizens and teach a national curriculum in Arabic, with a focus on Islamic values. However, most expats send their children to international schools, where instruction is in English according to British, American, or IB programs. I visited the Dubai International Academy and was impressed by its multinational environment: students from over 70 countries learn together, sharing their cultural experiences. Higher education is represented by branches of renowned universities, such as New York University Abu Dhabi and Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi, as well as local universities. The city actively invests in education, striving to become a center of knowledge and innovation in the region.
