What to Expect in the United Arab Emirates

Study abroad in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) where you'll live and learn in its largest city, Dubai—one of seven emirates you can explore during your semester abroad.

Experience life along the Persian Gulf Coast in a dynamic metropolitan area home to more than six million people. Dubai shares this metro region with the neighboring emirates of Sharjah and Ajman, creating a culturally rich and globally connected urban landscape.

Just a car ride away is Abu Dhabi, the UAE’s capital and a center for world-class culture and architecture. Highlights include the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Qasr Al Watan (the Presidential Palace), and Louvre Abu Dhabi, created through a partnership with THE Louvre in Paris.

Now it’s your turn to study abroad in the UAE and immerse yourself in university culture through our direct enrollment program at the American University in Dubai (AUD). Located in the heart of Dubai's Media City, AUD offers a campus experience set within one of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities.
