Both represent a country that’s very in touch with its past, present, and future.
Alongside meandering among these feats of engineering, students will have the opportunity to learn firsthand about the Bedouins, the nomadic desert dwellers who constitute the United Arab Emirate’s oldest inhabitants. These hardy people introduced many of the interests that are still wildly popular in the United Arab Emirates today, including falconry and camel racing.
