Dr. Paramjit Kaur
From the Director’s Desk
At BCM Arya Model Sr. Sec. School, Ludhiana, we believe
that there is no substitute for ‘education through action’
and that exploring places, people, cultures, economic
opportunities, and technological advancements through
travel, complements and completes the educational
experience.
This philosophy matches our endeavour to create
responsible global citizens and dynamic leaders by
bringing the knowledge of the world to the classroom
as well as encouraging students to go out into the world.
These two methods are critical to create the three pillars of
global citizenship based on empathy, understanding, and
international collaboration.
Inlinewiththismission,ourstudentsrecentlyjourneyedto
Dubai under a program titled‘Dubai: The Desert Paradise’.
Our students visited some of the most beautiful locations
in the United Arab Emirates. To augment the broader
program, we selected the Young Authors Program, which
ensured students’ engagement and immersion. This
Student Travel Review is an outcome of this collaborative
and exploratory module that our students of BCM Arya
Model Sr. Sec. School, Ludhiana, actively participated in.
It captures the entire journey in students’ own words and

photographs. It even showcases their learning from their
active interaction with one of the world’s most enigmatic
nations.
I would also like to recognise the efforts of EdTerra
Edventures, a company that is well aware of co-curricular
and extra-curricular goals and developmental needs
of students. We acknowledge the contribution of
their staff, especially their on-journey educators. Their
professionalism made for an effortless, safe, and enriching
travel experience for our students and teachers.
Lastly, we extend a heartfelt thanks to the students,
who participated in the program so enthusiastically.
Our willing learners had an enriching experience, the
enduring benefits of which they will reap all throughout
their academic lives and careers. Each parent may feel
proud of this highly demonstrable publication that will
keep reminding their wards of their achievements and
capabilities, lifelong.

Sincerely,

Message from EdTerra
An educational journey to foreign lands always induces
learning and excitement among young and inquisitive
students. When the destination is as diverse as Middle
East, one can only imagine the myriad ways in which
Indian students would absorb and construct learning
out of the many differences and similarities that mark the
cultures and people of India and the UAE.
For EdTerra, an educational journey is about enabling
students to construct knowledge through a meaningful
encounter with new cultures, without diluting their fun
and excitement or restricting their wandering, curious
minds. EdTerra achieves this through its Program
Development Team (PDT), which comprises both
Indian and international experts. The PDT carefully
designs culturally neutral projects that enable students
to meaningfully observe, record, and articulate their
impressions. These tools are deployed through a process
that encourages teamwork and meaningful discussions
besides recording observations through digital means, all
of which is finally synthesised into a media product that
showcases the ideas and learning of the students.
This Student Travel Review, ‘Dubai: The Desert Paradise’
is one such media product that captures the journey
of learning of the students of BCM Arya Model Sr. Sec.
School, Ludhiana. This book serves as a window into
Amita Midha

the UAE, especially valuable for those students, peers,
and parents who could not be a part of the program. It
showcases the intellectual and creative capacities of the
students, the credit for which is rightfully due to their
parents and school.
EdTerraEdventureswouldliketothankBCMAryaModelSr.
Sec. School, Ludhiana, for their efforts and support which
made this journey possible. We are extremely grateful
to Principal, Mrs. Anuja Kaushal, for guiding us. EdTerra
would also like to thank the accompanying teachers for
being so dynamic and enthusiastic. Their energy made
our work easy, and more importantly, made for a more
memorable journey for the students. We encourage you
to read and relive the learning and adventures of these
students through the words and photographs that follow.
Sincerely,
Amita Midha

About the Authors

special place in our hearts. We loved dancing to
music and spending time with our friends, who
actually became family for these few days. For
all the other people, it might be a trip but for us,
it actually was a lifetime experience. We went for
a city tour, where we saw some significant places
in Dubai like Burj al Arab and Jumeirah Beach. We
learnt a lot and parallelly we enjoyed it a lot. To be
honest, these were the best five days for all of us
and when the last day came, we all were really sad
to say goodbye to this beautiful country.
If we talk about the heaven of the desert, Dubai is
the first name that comes to our minds. It is the
safest city in the world and the most beautiful
city with scenic beauty. The most amazing part
of the trip was the view from the 125th floor of
Burj Khalifa. The view looked like heaven that we
could see with our eyes. The Burj Khalifa has one
hundred and sixty three floors and stands at a
height of 2717 feet (828 metres). It was designed
by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, a Chicago-based
architectural firm. William F. Baker worked as a
structural engineer, and Adrian Smith served as the
architect. The second best part of the trip was the
ATV (All Terrain Motorcycle) bikes that we drove
at the desert safari camp. Even the desert safari
by car was amazing. The desert safari includes
an exciting dune drive in a land cruiser and offers
an amazing sunset view. Another highlight is the
campsite, which has activities like fire show, henna
painting, belly dancing and trying out traditional
Arab costumes.
After landing in Dubai, we went to Zabeel Palace.
We also went on a Dhow Cruise down the Dubai
Creek. We made a lot of memories on the trip and
the experience that we all had will always have a

island situated two hundred and eighty metres off
the shores of Dubai. Dubai legitimately has broken
all the world records. The Burj Khalifa holds many
records like being the tallest building in the world,
the tallest free-standing structure in the world
and having the highest number of stories in the
world, the highest occupied floor in the world, the
highest outdoor observation deck in the world,
the elevator with the longest travel distance in the
world and the tallest service elevator in the world.
This city is outpacing all others. It is a city with
fabulous wealth, strange laws, an unbelievably low
crime rate and constant growth. Dubai became
so wealthy not only from the oil industry but from
an incredibly huge airport and increased tourism.
The change in Dubai in the last twenty years is
unimaginable. Another structure in Dubai is the
Emirates Towers, that was built in the late 1990s
and early 2000s and which house a hotel and
government offices.
Dubai is an overwhelming city. It is a miracle
metropolis in the middle of the desert with
overlapping roads, the tallest building in the world
and scorching temperatures. Dubai has a hot
climate all year round, similar to that experienced
along the Persian Gulf shoreline. Summertime
sees considerable humidity, while the rest of the
year sees moderate levels. Dubai is known for the
eight hundred and twenty eight metres Burj Khalifa,
the world’s tallest building. An abstracted version
of the Hymenocallis flower’s three lobed imprint
can be seen in the architecture of Burj Khalifa. The
tower is made up of three parts that are positioned
around a core. The modular, Y-shaped building’s
setbacks along each of its three wings give it an
intrinsically stable layout, and its good-sized floor
plans are ideal for housing. As the tower spirals
upward, its cross-section is gradually reduced by
twenty six helical levels.
Other than this, it has the longest indoor ski world
and the only seven-star hotel, Bur-Al-Arab. Burj Al
Arab has one hundred and ninety nine exclusive
suites, each allocated a dedicated twenty four
hour butler service. It offers experiences such as
indulgent spa experiences, yacht charters, a turtle
sanctuary and more. The hotel is built on its own

We were eagerly waiting to go on the desert safari for an authentic Arab
experience

As we reached the Thar desert, we were fascinated to know that Arabian
camels can walk up to 100 desert miles without water

What a thrilling adventure — the desert safari on the mighty sand dunes
was so exhilarating

We learnt that Statuario Marble was used in building the floors and walls of
Burj al Arab — the same marble was used by Michelangelo to create his iconic
sculptures

After leaving Dubai’s wide roads, the desert safari offered us a chance to

that would really reflect Islamic ideals, he wanted
the Grand Mosque to be a living example of
contemporary Islamic architecture.
We learnt about one of the most famous fruits of
Arab, dates. Dates are flowering plant species in
the palm family. It is cultivated for its sweet edible
fruits. The fruit has traditionally been the main
source of food and riches in the irrigable deserts
of North Africa and the Middle East.
There we learnt a lot many things about Arab
culture and we enjoyed it a lot. We paid respect
to their culture and they respected us too. Arab
culture and people’s love for it is commendable.
Thank you, EdTerra Edventures family, for making
our journey affordable and memorable.
Our first travel destination was Za’abeel Palace.
We went on a Dhow cruise on the same day.
We went on a city tour, during which we visited
some amazing venues in Dubai like Burj al Arab
and Jumeirah Beach. We did a lot of shopping at
Meena Bazaar. We also went to Burj Khalifa, the
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Ferrari World. At
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, we learnt about
their famous cultural clothes. We got to know about
flowing robes, blue jeans, T-shirts, business suits
and special ‘Dishdasha’ and ‘Kandoura’ for men
and ‘Abaya’ for women. One of the largest mosques
in the world, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is
an architectural masterpiece that purposefully
combines many Islamic architectural schools. It
has eighty-two domes, more than one thousand
columns, chandeliers gilded in twenty-four-carat
gold, and the biggest hand-knotted carpet in the
entire world. One of the biggest chandeliers in the
entire world dominates the main prayer hall.
The late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan
constructed this mosque to symbolise the Islamic
teachings of peace and tolerance. In order to

electronic devices, perfumes and groceries. One
can get South Asian fashion and handicrafts at
best prices from here. It is primarily along one lane
in the Bur Dubai district. According to a legend, the
market got its name from the signboard of one of
its earliest shops, which was situated at the lane’s
entrance in 1973. It is also frequently referred to as
‘Little India of Bur Dubai’. Another shopping place,
Gold Souk is known for its gold jewellery and other
collections. The Gold Souk gives shoppers a great
chance to buy gold at a very reasonable price.
All the merchandise of the Gold Souk is closely
monitored by the Dubai government in order to
ensure the authenticity and quality of products.
As the topic suggests, this chapter is about our
visit to the Dubai Mall. The Dubai Mall is really
enormous. One can explore more than one hundred
and fifty luxury shopping and dining experiences at
Fashion Avenue in the Dubai Mall. It is more than
what we expected it to be. A vibrant Arabesque
marketplace situated alongside the Dubai Mall in
the heart of downtown Dubai is Souk al Bahar. It
features over a hundred shops and twenty-two
restaurants, cafés and lounges. It offers a perfect
point to see amazing views of Burj Khalifa and the
Dubai Fountain. After all, what really matters is that
it’s really beautiful and we had a lot of fun. We saw
shops that we had never seen in life or even heard
about. The stuff was really expensive there. We
also played a game called Mirror Maze. The game
was really mind-boggling and almost took us an
hour to finish. We shopped a lot and spent a lot
of money. The end of Dubai Mall was really worth
all the foot pain because of the fascinating water
show with all the pretty lights and peaceful music.
The local markets are the real gem of Dubai
and make it a true shopping paradise. The most
popular market is Meena Bazaar. It is popular for

sand dunes in a Land Cruiser, viewing sunset in
the desert, sand-boarding down the dunes, belly
dancing, and Tanoura dancing. We explored Arab
culture, saw their dance forms and also saw the
fire show.
On day three, we went to the Dubai Mall, which is
huge and we almost got lost there but managed
to find our way through it. Dubai Mall is located
in the centre of downtown Dubai. Over a hundred
million people visit the Dubai Mall each year. It
is the world’s most popular retail and lifestyle
destination. More than twelve hundred retail
establishments, including two major department
stores, Galeries Lafayette and Bloomingdale’s,
over two hundred international eating options and
a variety of entertainment and leisure activities are
available for families to enjoy at The Dubai Mall.
We started our journey from our school in Ludhiana,
Punjab. We all assembled in our school. We went
to Delhi airport by bus and then we finally boarded
our flight to Dubai. After we landed, we were very
tired but Dubai’s view was totally worth the hustle.
After landing, we went to Zabeel Palace, checked
into our hotel and went on the cruise. The scenic
beauty of Dhow Cruise Dubai Marina was just next
level.
On day two, we went for a city tour in the morning
where we saw residences of royal families
and even the Dubai Frame. The most recent
architectural marvel in the UAE, Dubai Frame, is a
famous building that ‘frames’ breathtaking views
of both, the old and the new Dubai and acts as a
symbolic link between the Emirate’s illustrious
past and stunning present. Dubai Frame honours
Dubai’s history, from its early beginnings to its
aspirations for future expansion, by providing
breathtaking panoramic views of the whole city.
During the city tour, we learnt about Dubai’s history,
culture and traditions. After the tour, we went on
a desert safari, which was the most exciting part
of the journey. The desert safari in Dubai usually
includes a number of fun activities like riding the

Hi, I am Aastha Kataria of Class 12 and I am a student
of BCM Arya Sr. Secondary School, Ludhiana. Our trip
to Dubai was a great experience. This was my first trip
and I can proudly say that it was the best decision of
my life. I learnt how to manage time and how to face
difficulties. I have never been on my own before but
here, I tried to manage myself perfectly. I made some
mistakes too, which I will try to improve. Overall, if we
talk about our trip, it showed us the best places and
gave us the best experiences of our life.
Hi! I am Akshar and I am fourteen years old. I study at

people in the world. We visited Ferrari World, Grand
Mosque, Dubai Mall, Meena Bazaar, Jumeirah Beach,
Dhow Cruise, Burj-Al-Arab, Desert Safari, Burj Khalifa,

me learn teamwork. It is a basic and important life
skill that everyone must know. Some of my hobbies

also love high-speed dubbing along with keeping up
with the latest technological advancements. Dubai is
an amazing place and a great tourist attraction. The
thing that fascinated me the most was viewing the
entire city from the world’s tallest building and seeing
all the developed architecture like Dubai Frame and
Museum of the Future etc. This educational tour was
probably one of the best experiences of my life that I
won’t forget ever.

Bonjour! I am Arnav Garg of Class 7. I study at BCM
Arya Sr. Secondary School, Ludhiana. My trip to Abu
Dhabi and Dubai was the best trip that I ever had. I
met tons of people with different backgrounds. I learnt
Arab folk dance and bought a traditional Arabian dress
known as Kandura. I tried Arabian dishes and loved
them. On my third day, I got to know about the Young
Authors Program and I loved it too. This trip taught
me the importance of handling responsibilities. It is
really a tough job for innocent kids.
Hi, I am Arya Narang of Class 11 and I study at BCM
Arya Sr. Secondary School, Ludhiana. The journey
to Dubai was such a fantastic experience and it
complimented my hobby of learning new things and
meeting new people. I loved dancing and during the
journey, we also had a very beautiful dance in one
evening. Working on our photobook was my favourite
project. I loved the journey. This trip taught me how
to travel.

My name is Divansh Arora. I am from Class 6. I study
at BCM Arya Sr. Secondary School, Ludhiana. My
hobby is playing football. I like four places; New York,
Paris, Dubai and London. Out of these four places, I
love Paris because of the Eiffel Tower and Disneyland.
I like when a person comes to my house. When an
electrician comes to my house, I always stand there
because I like to see new things. There is a famous
tower named Burj Khalifa in Dubai and in Abu Dhabi,
there is the famous Ferrari World and Sheikh Zayed
Grand Mosque. There is a mall named Dubai Mall,
where there is an aquarium and more than two
hundred shops.
Hello, I am Harajay Partap Singh and I am sixteen

it. We went on a cruise, desert safari, Dubai Mall,
Burj Khalifa, Meena Bazaar, Sheikh Zayed Grand
Mosque and Ferrari World. All these places were
exceptional and different from India. The roads
of Dubai were clean and everything was in proper
order. The Arabian people are very friendly and I
never saw aggression in them. I would like to thank
EdTerra Edventures, India’s best student travel

Hi, I am Harshdeep Kaur of Class 8. I study at BCM
Arya Sr. Secondary School, Ludhiana. The journey to
Dubai was a fantastic experience and it complimented
my hobby of learning new things. I am thirteen years
old and I really love to listen to music and like it. I like
to study space and technology. Dubai was really fun.
All the places in Dubai look the most beautiful at night
when all the lights of the buildings light up. They all
work in a sequential manner. I really enjoyed seeing
all the lights.
Hello there, I am Hunar Arora of Class 12 from BCM
Arya Sr. Secondary School, Ludhiana. So moving
on to the best part of the trip, it was surely the view
from Burj Khalifa. A person like me, who is interested
in photography found the most amazing view from
the 125th floor. On this trip, we learnt to manage our
own stuff and most importantly we learnt money
management, which is very important. We got to
know how to handle our expenses and all these
experiences were worth all the difficulties. We came
with nothing but in the end, we are taking a briefcase
full of memories and the best moments of our lives.

Hi, I am Jatin Malhotra from Class 10 and I like to
sit alone and think. I have general knowledge but
don’t do much in exams. I also like to take photos of
nature, monuments and structures. I am not special
to anyone else but my family. I do have friends but not
even one whom I can trust. I called my friends on this
trip. Earlier they agreed but later denied it with lame
excuses. In the end, I was left with one friend to go
with but I guess he was a double-minded person. This
was my first trip and in fact the first foreign trip in my
family. When we left India, we exchanged money at
INR 21 but when we reached there the rate of Dhiram
increased. In Dubai, I learnt people are often about
their expressions and people including the residents
treated us well. There was no issue and we thank
EdTerra Edventures for this trip. I love eating and
staying calm.
Hello! I am Krishan Kabir Khosla and I am seventeen

and very different from India. The roads were clean
and everything was in the proper place. All the people
here are very friendly people and I never saw a hint
of aggressiveness in them. I love dancing and during
the journey, we had a fun-filled evening dance session
on our cruise. The trip complemented my hobby of
learning new things and meeting new people. I want
to thank our beloved school and EdTerra Edventures,

A nature lover and a travel freak, I, Dr. Kiran Saini
enjoyed every moment of my trip to Dubai and Abu
Dhabi. It was so mesmerising to see the high-tech
infrastructure.I truly enjoyed the company of my dear
students and accompanying teachers, Ms Rachna,
Ms Preet Kamal and our director Dr Paramjit Kaur.
It was so much fun sharing good talks, photoshoots
and of course, shopping. Our Journey Mentor, Mr
Mohit was full of energy and was a great support
during the tour. Thank you, EdTerra Edventures. You
deserve a pat on the back.
The trip to Dubai was awesome and was one of my
best trips with students. The journey right from the
Delhi airport started with a bang and the mesmerising
part was the enthusiastic call out, ‘Yo-Yo’ followed
by group selfies. Reaching Dubai and watching
skyscrapers was a treat to the eyes. We had limitless
fun at Desert Safari and riding on the bike was again
a thrilling experience. Apart from the fascinating
places, the best part was seeing children learn the
values of managing finances, sharing and caring
about each other during the trip. The travel itinerary
was followed religiously. It was a unique opportunity
to explore the unknown. We came back with enriching
and unforgettable memories. It was a memorable
and fun-filled trip indeed. Special thanks to EdTerra
Journey Mentor and school coordinators.

About the Authors

My name is Preet Kamal. I am an avid traveller, who
loves to explore different places. I love to learn about
their culture, people and values. Besides, I am a writer
also. Whatever beautiful I see in my life, I pen down
my emotions either in the form of poetry or an article.
During my journey to Dubai, I visited many places but
I liked Burj Khalifa the most. During my journey I learnt
that although we all are from different culture and
ages but when we are together on a toir, we develop
a special bond with each other. There is no age gap
and hierarchy when we are traveling together. I liked
the travel arrangements made by EdTerra Edventures.
We loved the food they served us during our entire trip
and the way they made each one of us comfortable
by fulfilling all our demands. I wish to travel each year
with them to different places.
