  • Hospitality, Tourism, & Leisure in the U.A.E
    The U.S.-U.A.E. Business Council is the premier business organization dedicated to advancing bilateral commercial relations. By leveraging its extensive networks in the U.S. and in the region, the U.S.-U.A.E. Business Council provides unparalleled access to senior decision makers in business and government with the aim of deepening bilateral trade and investment. U.S.-U.A.E. Business Council 505 Ninth Street, NW Suite 6010 Washington D.C. +202.863.7285 [email protected] usuaebusiness.org Introduction The United Arab Emirates has long been recognized as a premier tourism and leisure destination. Over the past decade, these sectors have experienced rapid and sustained growth, becoming a key component of the U.A.E.’s successful economic diversification strategy. The biggest names in the international hospitality industry – from Hilton to Hyatt to Marriott – have invested heavily in the U.A.E. Meanwhile, the U.A.E. has developed, and exported, brand names of its own, such as DAMAC, Emaar, and Jumeirah. Moreover, household names like Six Flags, Sea World, Warner Bros., and Guggenheim are all taking root in the U.A.E.’s leisure and entertainment sectors. Main drivers of the sector’s robust growth have historically been the country’s strategic location, world-class transportation infrastructure, and fast-growing airlines. Two-thirds of the world’s population lives within an 8-hour fight of the U.A.E., and Emirates and Etihad Airways have become synonymous with best-in- class international travel. An ongoing catalyst for the expansion of the Emirati hospitality industry is the upcoming 2020 World Exposition, an international mega event.

  • Fujairah Mosque Worthy of Sheikh Zayed's Great Name
    Fujairah mosque worthy of Sheikh Zayed’s great name Hesham Amin, managing director of Mabani Engineering Consulting, which undertook the Dh200 million construction of Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Fujairah. Reem Mohammed / The National Asmaa Al Hameli October 18, 2015 The emirate is home to the oldest and the newest mosque in the country with the completion of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque. Drawing on Istanbul’s Blue Mosque in its design, it is a beautiful and unique place of worship. After six centuries, tiny Al Bidya Mosque has earned the title of the country’s oldest working mosque. In a few months, visitors to Fujairah will also be able to go to the newest, and one of the most spectacular, places of worship. Named in honour of the Founding Father of the UAE, this Sheikh Zayed Mosque is second in size only to the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. Its design is likely to become as familiar and as loved as its namesake in the capital, drawing on Istanbul’s famous Sultan Ahmed Mosque, better known as the Blue Mosque after the tiles that cover its interior. Ten years in the planning and funded by President Sheikh Khalifa, construction of the Dh200 million mosque was given to a team from Mabani Engineering Consulting, under the Government of Fujairah and the Ministry of Public Works. The company was given 700 days to complete the project. Sheikh Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, Ruler of Fujairah, also played a key role in its design. “When we took over the project, we proposed several designs to Sheikh Hamad,” says Hesham Amin, managing director of Mabani.
