Whether you want to get back to nature in the desert or by the sea, dine out in luxurious hotels, sample an array of international cuisines on a budget, shop in some of the world’s largest malls, attend international sporting and entertainment events, sight-see at famous tourist attractions including the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Louvre Abu Dhabi, and the Burj Khalifa, the UAE has something for everyone. The UAE is also the first country in the world to take happiness seriously. From appointing a Minister of Happiness, to hosting happiness summits, the UAE government is determined to create the right conditions for its residents to be happy.
Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE and home to our largest campus, is a cosmopolitan, high-rise city offering a wide array of activities from sightseeing to desert adventures. By contrast, Al Ain, one of the world's oldest permanently inhabited settlements and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is known as the Garden City due to its greenery. Dubai, home to our newest campus, is on track to become one of the world’s leading socio‐economic forces and a pivotal hub in the global economy. Al Dhafra Region is where the desert meets the sea and is home to the world's largest uninterrupted sand mass with the biggest dunes this side of the Sahara.
