MASVINGO – Junior High school pupils left the country for a week-long educational tour in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
School Director Noah Marima confirmed the development and said 50 leaners will tour five places in the UAE’s capital Dubai.
Marima said apart from offering Cambridge curriculum and other best services, the school decided to take the learners on an international educational tour where they will be exposed to different cultures as well as technological advancement in UAE schools.
“The importance of this trip is that it will expose leaners to different cultures and what the real world is composed of. It also expose leaners to new technology being used in UAE schools so that they can emulate,” said Marima.
“This is our inaugural international trip but we want to expose our leaners to the world as much as we can and we will organize other trips to places like China and Malaysia,” he added.
The learners will visit Marina Dhow Cruise which is a must-visit tourist spot that offers a unique and enchanting experience. The cruise takes visitors along the Dubai Creek, allowing them to witness the stunning skyline of the city while enjoying a delicious dinner. The traditional wooden dhow boat adds to the charm of the experience.
From there they will go to the Dubi City Tour which has Sight Seeing, Atlantis & Zabeel Saray, Al Seef and the Palm photo shoot, Dubai Museum, Jumeirah and Canal, Creek Abra Drive through, Lamer Beach, and Art Gallery among other tour spots.
The learners will also tour Burj Khalifa which is not only the world’s tallest building but has also broken two other impressive records: tallest structure, previously held by the KVLY-TV mast in Blanchard, North Dakota, and tallest free-standing structure, previously held by Toronto’s CN Tower.
Learners will also go for the Desert Safari which provides about 20 minutes of exciting dune bashing along with an electrifying camp journey where they will enjoy quad biking, camel ride and sand skiing.
Lastly they will visit the Zimbabwean Embassy in the UAE.
