In the United Arab Emirates, Dubai stands out as a city of superlatives. The world’s tallest building is under construction in Dubai. Off the coast, islands are being formed in the shapes of the world’s continents and sold to the highest bidder. Dubai also is developing infrastructure to become a Global Financial Center, with the aim of attracting the wealth of the Middle East. As a business center in the Islamic world, Dubai is a fascinating case study as it must straddle tradition and modernity in a rapidly changing world. In addition to visiting growing companies such as Emaar and Emirates Airlines, students visiting Dubai will enjoy unmatched hospitality and have the chance to visit local markets or to enjoy dinner in the world’s only 7-star hotel, the Burj al Arab.
