On Thursday morning I drove from Sharjah to Dubai to go to a teaching conference. This is an annual international conference for teachers from the Gulf region. It lasts for 3 days. I always enjoy the conference because I can meet all my friends from different Emirates and also people I know from other Gulf countries. There are always speakers from around the world and lots of presentations about teaching, so I can learn about what teachers are doing in other places and get some new ideas. I gave a presentation on museum websites.
On Thursday evening I went to a big buffet for dinner and ate far too much food! On Friday evening I took a friend of mine from Bahrain on a tour of Dubai. We went to Jumeirah, Atlantis and the Dubai Marina.
I left Dubai late on Saturday afternoon and drove back to Abu Dhabi. I am really exhausted, but I have had a wonderful week!
