10th Int'l Scout Gathering organises visits to Dubai landmarks

This come in line with the cultural and entertainment programme accompanying the event, which aims to enhance cultural exchange and community communication between scouts from different countries of the world.

Burj Khalifa

The tour began at Burj Khalifa, the tallest skyscraper in the world, where the visit was a distinctive stop that added a cultural and perceptive dimension to their experience.

The participants went up to the upper viewing platform, where they had the opportunity to see a panoramic view of the city of Dubai, which left them with a deep impression of the urban progress and civilised development represented by the UAE.

They also learned about the story of the construction of the tower and its engineering achievements, which are a symbol of creativity and determination, which reinforced their concept of sustainable development and the importance of innovation in achieving major goals.

Global Village

After visiting Burj Khalifa, the scouts headed to Global Village, where they had a rich cultural experience, touring the pavilions of different countries, exploring the diversity of world heritage through popular art shows, handicrafts, and traditional foods, which gave them the opportunity to learn about diverse cultures from different continents of the world in one place.

The visit witnessed great interaction from the participants who enjoyed the art shows and heritage events that enhanced their values of tolerance and openness to global cultures, in line with the principles of scouting that support international cooperation and understanding.

The meeting stressed that these diverse visits reflect the educational orientations of scouting, which aim to prepare an aware generation open to the world, combining knowledge and fun, and acquiring social interaction skills within a multicultural environment.
