Students’ experience
United Arab Emirates, Sharjah

Surroundings the location: For trips we usually went to Dubai. There are lots of view points (e.g. Burj Khalifa, The Frame..), festivals (Indian festival) and other possibilities (the beach, jet skiing,...). We also went hiking. Most of the hiking places are about 2 hours away from Sharjah. For weekend trips we visited Oman where we rented cars and drove around (and also we slept in a desert camp there) and Abu Dhabi (where ...

Japan, Sendai
(Ema Fialová, UCT Prague)
Sport and culture: I went hiking several times thanks to my professor and research group, it was also a great city for running and cycling. There were a lot of tennis courts and baseball fields around the campus but probably only for students that are a part of some univeristy club.
There were also a lot of shrines and temples that were worth visiting.
