Why Sharjah ?

I first got Acquainted with Sharjah in 1986 when I was working at the Sultan Qaboos University in Muscat, Oman.

Being an avid fan of excursions and discovering deserts and cities, especially in our Arab World, I used to frequently drive to the United Arab Emirates through the Buraimi Desert with my family on weekends, and usually stay in Sharjah.

Starting out young Career-oriented, passionate, driven, well-networked, hard working ... these are the kind of buzz words used in the ‘About Me’ description column of most professional networking websites like LinkedIn so that they can connect with a like-minded task force, or in the words of Zainab Zulfi: “... so that it helps my career.” After LinkedIn lowered the age limit to 13 across most countries, including the UAE and the rest of the Middle East, they rolled out their ‘University Pages’, which provided a new outlet for students, faculty and alumni to connect and share their insights. The biggest draw for younger members on LinkedIn remains University Pages. Loulou Khazen Baz, founder and Chief Owl at Nabbesh.com, said: “We currently have over 23,000 University Pages. Across the Mena region, our top universities are: King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KSA), American University of Sharjah (UAE), American University of Beirut (Lebanon), University of Karachi (Pakistan) and Cairo University (Egypt).”
