  United Arab Emirates

Dubai

Length of Position: 2 year contract

Description: Dubai...
Most internationally flavoured of all seven Emirates of United Arab Emirates and shopping capital of Middle East, Dubai is a place hard to ignore. With a history that goes far back and a present that is vibrating with trade, tradition, celebration and sporting events, Dubai is an ultimate destination for many.

Sightseeing, exploring the places beyond the city limits, having some fun in the amusement parks, and shopping in the duty free shops of Dubai are some of the options that you may like to explore when you are here. There are enough opportunities to participate in the sporting events that continue throughout the year and they should not be missed. Complete with many bars and cafes, Dubai has an exciting nightlife.

There are numerous parks and gardens situated in Dubai, which offer a peaceful respite from the daily rush of urban life. Some of the famous ones are Jumeirah Beach Park, Dubai Creekside Park, Mushrif Park, Al Mamzar Park and Safa Park. Dubai is aiming to have the biggest and best - the world's tallest building, the world's first underwater shopping mall and the largest indoor ski slope - Ski Dubai! See it for yourself and you will understand why thousands of ex-pats from the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and more call Dubai home.

Highlights: This is a growing American school - most teachers are American or Canadians and the kids are a mix of ex-pat nationalities.
