The UAE has a desert type climate with extreme summer temperatures that can go up to 50°C. This heat makes walking outdoors for extended periods impossible during peak months, leading to reliability on air-conditioned transport like taxis or university shuttle buses. UAE has built an ultra-modern infrastructure where virtually all indoor space, including malls, university buildings, and public transports are fully air-conditioned. Besides the intense summer period, the UAE offers year-round sunshine. This contributes to a vibrant social scene and outdoor lifestyle during the cooler months

The UAE has a great healthcare system characterized by heavy government investment in medical technology and well-being.

For students who may be on a Golden Visa or are self-employed, they are responsible for arranging their own private medical coverage.
