Daily Update 2: Get ready for the first full day

Dear All,

We hope you enjoyed this evening’s Dhow Dinner Cruise! Make sure you get a good night’s rest as we have a jam-packed itinerary tomorrow.

A few quick but important reminders:

  • Please remember to bring appropriate clothes for the SMCCU Mosque visit
  • Attendance will be recorded for the academic sessions starting tomorrow. If you are unable to join a visit/meeting, you must inform a member of Imperial staff, for attendance monitoring purposes but more importantly so that we know you're okay.
  • If you are sharing a room and haven't formally checked in to the hotel because your roommate has already done so, please take a moment to visit reception with your passport to complete formal check-in tomorrow morning.

A reminder of staff contact details is below, you can reach us via phone or MS teams:

Emma Davies – +44 7594 511228

Jon Milnthorpe - +44 7874 625076

Arianna Saccani - +44 7435 293479
