Students in Dubai: Sharing our Learning Experiences 2025

Have you ever thought about this? India is full of beauty, history, delicious food, and rich culture, yet Dubai attracts more tourists than India. Why is that? For us, Dubai represents love, unity, and peace, which together create a sense of spiritual understanding. During our trip, we were amazed to learn that in 2024, Dubai welcomed a record 18.72 million international visitors.

We observed that Dubai is known for its low crime rate, well-planned infrastructure, and cheerful atmosphere. Citizens seemed more relaxed and confident, supported by good salaries, quality education, and strong skills. We also noticed that corruption is minimal and people are treated equally, which makes the city feel organised and fair.

The rules in Dubai are strict, and breaking them can lead to serious consequences. However, these rules help create discipline and order in society. At the same time, people enjoy the freedom to live their lives, explore the city, and express their thoughts. We were touched by the warmth and respect shown by people in Dubai. We also learnt about its city planning. From underground tunnels to the towering buildings, every structure appeared well-planned. We also saw Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, which stands 828 metres tall. It was opened for public in 2010.

Overall, we observed that Dubai treats everyone like family. Its citizens take responsibility for keeping their country clean and beautiful. This sense of unity, respect, and care created a strong bond within society. As students, we felt inspired and believed that India too can achieve this by spreading kindness, respecting rules, and focusing on education.
