MEIST - Arrived in Abu Dhabi

[MEIST - Dubai -Abu Dhabi 1, 2, 3, 4 - Jordan]

We spent our last day in Dubai visiting the Second Cup franchise in Dubai mall to speak with the owner. Following that, we visited the Ismali center in Dubai where we were treated to a tour and a visit from the Aga Khan foundation (an interesting profit driven foundation advocating social change which warrants another post). Afterwards, we made our way down to Abu Dhabi where we will be staying for a couple of days before heading over to Jordan.

Rather than try to describe all our visits and not doing them justice, I think in the future I will be focusing on the key learnings and take aways of this tour as well as some of the extraordinary events which have occured (which is difficult as this tour seems to be escalating in terms of our learnings, challenges and excitement). Even after I return home, I might have to post on retroactive topics for review.

Tomorrow we will be visiting the Canadian Embassy to the UAE, The Central Bank and Mubadala.
