AIESEC is the world's largest student organization that exist in over 800 universities in 100 countries.AIESEC serves as a platform to discover and develop young people's potential. In mid-2007, MENA (Middle East and North Africa) was established under AIESEC. AIESEC is currently promoting MENA-Singapore exchange Programme. This programme is a joint project between AIESEC in Singapore, AIESEC in MENA and Singapore business Federation(SBF). The aim is to promote and facilitate internship exchange between Singapore and MENA countries, that is, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt, Qatar, Morocco, Tunisia, and Jordan.
After the September 11 incident, the economics in Middle East started to raise steadily because the oil producing countries in Middle East starting to invest back in their own countries and not US. Take Dubai for instance, that place is very developed now and is a good starting place for business. The population in Dubai are mostly Russians, Pakistan, and India surprisingly. A joke that i heard during the seminar is that once Dubai did not have rains in long period and everyone in Dubai gathered and pray for rain. The next day the sky rain heavily but that happen back in Pakistan and India because mostly the people pray in Dubai are Pakistanis and Indian. Oh ya... in Dubai there are no taxes to pay for.
Qatar and Abu Dhabi is the place for you if you wish to make money because there are no entertainment in that place. Saudi Arabia also is a nice place to earn tons of money because the accommodation and groceries there are cheap. Can save a lot working in that places.
Tourism is the next best thing in Middle East after the oil. The government there are starting to get into this section. Dubai have a 7 star hotel and Palm Island. The government now is planning to build another International Airport there. I wish to visit Palm Island someday if i have the money. The entertainment there is very exotic. Nice to visit.
