Despite having a number of world class business facilities, hotels, and everything that supports a lifestyle of highest quality, UAE was lacking in one department. That is the availability of higher education facilities. For many years upper and middle class families had no other option but to send their children to study abroad, if they were interested in quality education at reasonable fees. Gradually, the trend changed, UAE government has planned and invested in many academic programs to offer a world class education system, which will match its standard of living. Initially, the focus was more on UAE nationals, though with the passage of time these opportunities will be accessible for everyone to avail.
Education Vision 2020:
Recognizing the need and importance of a sound educational system in the overall development and growth of economy, UAE government has initiated a comprehensive plan, called “Education Vision 2000″.

A resort area is a place where people go for vacations and resort is used to refer to some hotel which is situated in that area.

Abu Dhabi followed the suit and came up with several tourist attractions and while these two emirates have achieved considerable success, other emirates are also working on their infrastructure and tourism facilities, for instance Sharjah and Ajman.

With one of the highest per capita incomes in the Middle East, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a focal point for investors in this region. The UAE is traditionally associated with oil and natural resources. However, this is certainly not the only industry with business opportunities. The governing bodies within the emirates that make up the UAE are proactive in developing incentive schemes and building infrastructure to make the region competitive with business hubs around the world.
Free Zones are one such program to provide infrastructure and incentives to a variety of industries and investors. A variety of free zones have been developed within the UAE. These include Dubai Airport Free Zone, Hamriyah Free Zone, Dubai Internet City, Jebel Ali Free Zone and many more. Some of the appealing benefits for incorporating in the UAE include the option of 100% foreign ownership, extensive infrastructure, a wide range of facilities (warehouses, offices, industrial parks) amongst other things. The UAE has made a strong, combined effort to diversify their economy, slowly shifting the dependence on their oil reserves. They have achieved success in their tourism industry, spurred by the lavish and luxurious lifestyle images of Dubai. The other sector lobbying for development is the service industry. Their main attraction – the free zones; these Free Zones are all encompassing business models providing readily available access to the technology and infrastructure a modern day business requires to be competitive.
