- About the Study Abroad In UAE
The UAE’s rise from a modest trading hub to a dominant force in international business is impressive and inspiring. Officially formed in 1971, the UAE is a young country wedged between Oman and Saudi Arabia in the Middle East (Western Asia). It consists of seven different emirates: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ras al-Khaimah, Ajman, Umm al-Quwain, and Fujairah. Abu Dhabi is the nation’s capital, while Dubai,
its most populated city, is an international hub.
Interestingly, Dubai is the regional headquarters of 70% of the largest Fortune 500 companies and home to two of the world’s largest ports. It has also adopted smart and future-oriented strategies such as establishing free trade zones, removing income tax, and investing heavily in infrastructure—giving it a world-class look—to make it an appealing destination for expatriates to work and live there. Today, the UAE is home to over 200 nationalities, with over 88% of the population consisting of immigrants.
The UAE is also a strong advocate for advancing the UN SDGs. It formed a National Committee in 2017 to implement the SDGs. The National Committee collaborates with different stakeholders locally and internationally to broaden ownership of the 2030 Agenda.
The UAE provides a unique cultural experience that combines traditional values with modernity. It offers an exhilarating range of attractions, including the Burj Khalifa, the Museum of the Future, desert safaris, man-made islands, futuristic cities, and spice and gold souks (traditional marketplaces).

FAQs About the Study Abroad In UAE
The United Arab Emirates is a very safe country in terms of safety regulations. Crime is especially uncommon in places like Abu Dhabi and Dubai, which have a high standard of safety. On a side note, students should become familiar with local laws and customs because breaking the law in the UAE may carry serious consequences.
No, it’s not necessary to learn Arabic language for the academic tour. English is widely spoken across the nation. However, it would be helpful to learn common phrases like “hello” or “thank you” in the local language.
The program group will be accompanied by the Authentica team member(s), who will be available 24X7 during the program. They have also been certified by the Red Cross in first-aid emergency training. In case of an emergency, measures will be taken in real-time.
The inclusion or exclusion of meals will depend upon the itinerary finalized by the institution and Authentica.
The availability of phone and internet connectivity will depend on the city/village chosen for the immersion program. Generally, the connectivity is decent across the UAE with some exceptions in remote areas. Students can also purchase local SIMs, at an additional cost, for data, calls, and texts.

The “Land of a Million Elephants” offers stunning vistas of lush greenery, tranquil villages, and misty mountains. The economy of Laos is predominantly characterized by agriculture, with farming being a significant livelihood for a large portion of the population. However, in recent years, Laos has seen a growth in hydroelectric power generation, capitalizing on its abundant rivers. Laos is also making efforts to advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals by focusing on enhancing rural livelihoods through sustainable agriculture as well as improving access to education and healthcare services.

The country is also known for its relaxed and unhurried pace of life, creating a tranquil atmosphere for those seeking respite from the bustle of modern life. With its untouched beauty and serene vistas, Laos stands as a testament to the unparalleled wonders of the world. The mighty Mekong River, winding its way through lush valleys and towering mountains, serves as a lifeline for local communities. Its pristine waterfalls cascade into pools, inviting visitors to unwind in their embrace. Luang Prabang, the UNESCO world heritage city, teems with its well-preserved architecture, intricate temples, and charming blend of French and Lao influences. Whereas Vientiane, its capital city, reflects a unique blend of colonial charm and tranquil spirituality through its French-inspired architecture and ancient Buddhist temples.
