Daily Update 6: Get set for the desert

Thank you all for such a fantastic day in Abu Dhabi! We really appreciate everyone getting up and out early and staying engaged during a rather long day. Remember to use the hashtag #ImperialMeansBusiness and tag @ImperialBiz if you’re sharing any photos or videos on social media!

Tomorrow is the final day (☹) and it’s set to be a thrilling end to the trip with the desert safari!

You will be sitting in your groups for the final speaker session with ekar and the wrap-up session, which will be central to making sense of what you’ve learned, and putting it into context for your assignments.

Preparation questions for the wrap-up session:

  1.  What are some common misconceptions about Dubai/the UAE, and how has your visit helped you gain a more accurate understanding of the city?
  2. What are some critical questions regarding Dubai, the UAE, or specific companies and projects that you wish had been addressed during the talks and visits?


Airport transfers

The Legacy Ventures team have kindly arranged an airport transfer for those who stated that they are travelling on the 11:25 Emirates flight on Saturday 1 April. We will contact this group separately with further details.

We hope you enjoy your evening and we'll see you all at 09:15 tomorrow!
