UAE Grows Career Fair

          If there is one thing that the United Arab Emirates is determined to do, its to excel their country in every aspect possible. From new construction, to new deign, to new events, every chance that is provided is taken advantage of. One of those ways in which they strive to excel is through their career fair.

        "The event - which enables UAE Nationals with qualifications in diverse fields of expertise to meet directly with recruiters and hiring managers; as well as to seek out various training and career opportunities - provides an excellent platform for raising the corporate profile of Dubal and attracting the interest of high calibre candidates for recruitment" explains Marwan Al Sawaleh (General Manager: Human Resources). "In 2009, the Dubal stand at CareersUAE attracted job applications from more than 2,000 candidates, enabling us to recruit several UAE Nationals during the course of the year. We are confident of attracting even more applications this year."

         The event takes place at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Center on March 28th- 30th, 2010. Anything is possible.

Dubai: Rhythm and Races

        Since 1996, Dubai has held one of the worlds premiere events for horse racing, The Dubai World Cup. Annually, the best thoroughbred horses from around the world are assembled for a night of racing. With a purse of US $10 million, The Dubai World Cup has become the worlds richest horse race. It is a flat race on a synthetic dirt surface allowing Northern Hemisphere Thoroughbred four-year-olds & up and for Southern Hemisphere Thoroughbred three-year-olds & up run over a distance of 2,000 meters.

         Neither the beautiful scenery, world class competition, or even the large purse can captivate everyones attention. One of the main events of Dubai World Cup 2010 isn't even the horses! March 27th, 2010, is a once in a lifetime chance to see two of arguably the greatest musicians of all time playing together on the same stage. Yes ladies and gentlemen, two of the greatest. 

         To celebrate the Dubai World Cup, event planners have invited Elton John and Carlos Santana to perform, which just adds to the prestige and excitement surrounding the Dubai World Cup. 

Anything is possible.

UAE Oasis

        Have you ever seen an oasis in the desert? If you haven't seen one, I am sure you have heard of one. Towering green palm trees and trickling rivers of water thrown in the midst of a desert, sound familiar? Well, now you may actually have a chance to see such spectacles. The United Arab Emirates is dedicated to transforming their vast amounts of desert into an industry leading producer and supplier of palm trees for the world.

"His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahayan, there are continual efforts to increase UAE date palm productivity in order to make better use of the date palm industry and to produce an agricultural leap that will change the face of the UAE desert", according to the World News Network. The UAE's dedication has been displayed by the recently 42 million date palms already planted in the desert. 

Who would of thought, a modern oasis coming to a desert near you? Anything is possible.

Dubai: The New Disney Land?

If you haven't heard about United Arab Emirates or don't know what they have been up to lately then this should be a quick tutorial. Fifteen short years ago, Dubai was but a desert vast land with more dollar signs in oil then actual sand. With oil and the uses of oil in a paradox of diminishing demand, the country realized that the cash cow they were living on will soon be gone. In an attempt to create a new name and establish itself internationally, Dubai has spurred an astonishingly ambitious plan to turn their desert land into an international tourist mecca.

Have they succeeded? According to Hotelscombined.com, a leading hotel search engine, Dubai is set to be among the top five international destinations for U.S. tourists in 2011. Hotelscombined.com's general manager Hichame Assi reported "Dubai has previously had to compete with traditional European cities such as London, Rome and Paris. However, today, Dubai is in the top cities list." With an untapped international destination waiting to be exploited, how long until we hear rumors of Disney Dubai? 

        Mickey wasn't meant for the desert, but anything is possible.
