There is no place quite like Dubai, from its distinctive palm-tree shaped artificial archipelagoes to the iconic silver sail of seven star Burj Al Arab hotel. The cosmopolitan and accomplished students at the American University in Dubai, our celebrated Dubai partner university, represent over 90 nationalities. The confluence of such a wide range of diverse perspectives and cultures on one campus generates a uniquely vibrant academic and social atmosphere on campus. Harvard delegates return to Boston after their time in Dubai with stories of desert safaris, extravagantly mammoth shopping malls, and new friends from a whole portfolio of countries—from Nigeria to India to the Philippines.
