Arabian Days & Nights

Living in a Muslim country has been the most wonderful learning experience in my life. Traditions, culture, believes and even the financial system were different to the western world, which made my experience unique and exceptional. Every day I listened to the 5-preayer call wherever I was in the city or campus. I witnessed spectacular landscaping in the UAE, caravans of camels, the contrast of beach and desert, the most beautiful full moon I have ever seen, and extraordinary sunsets. I had the fortune to attend a spectacular Emirati wedding. I also witnessed several Guinness records in one single city, Dubai; such as, the biggest mall, the tallest building, the largest hotel, the fastest roller coaster, the largest fireworks display, the “palm islands” which are consider to be the 8th wonder of the world and the world’s first seven star hotel. As an International Business major this has been the best experience I could have embraced in. My program supported me to get an internship. Living in a cosmopolitan city, such as Dubai, showed me that understanding the global world is crucial to succeed in my career.

    Get ready to study abroad with API at the American University of Sharjah! The beautiful campus of AUS has been described by many as the “Jewel of Sharjah” and is in itself a must-see destination for tourists and dignitaries alike. For Western visitors, Sharjah offers a safe Middle Eastern place with the comforts of home and an exotic taste. Sharjah promotes itself as the cultural capital of the UAE, and its proliferation of excellent museums, galleries, and theaters makes this tag well deserved. Architecturally, the restored central arts and heritage precincts are two of the most interesting neighborhoods in the UAE, and the city’s souqs (outdoor markets) give it the cachet of being the best place for shopping in the country.
