Its cosmopolitan culture lends itself towards learning the social etiquette necessary in today's multicultural world. There are numerous fun activities to engage in Dubai, from beautiful beaches to indoor skiing. Many students take a shuttle bus to nearby malls to shop, buy groceries, watch movies, and grab a bite to eat.
