Rosina Kermani is 20 years old and is studying BA Hons Journalism at the University of Cumbria in England
She moved to Abu Dhabi in 1995 with her family and is currently carrying out a work placement with Abu Dhabi Week and is really enjoying the experience she is gaining.
The weather
Unlike the UK where it rains nearly constantly, Abu Dhabi offers beautiful sunshine all year round. Other than the annoyance of the humidity, the sun is absolutely wonderful and cheers me up.
Multi-cultural
Growing up in Abu Dhabi has been an amazing experience. I know that I have grown into the person I am today, thanks to the vast array of opportunities which Abu Dhabi has provided me with. The diversity of religions and nationalities, as well as the chance to mix with several cultures, has been beneficial in the line of work I am training in.
Family-oriented
As the capital of the UAE, Abu Dhabi has always seemed family-orientated to me. The numerous activities on offer for all age ranges, and most importantly, the way in which families can spend time together, definitely summarises the happiness this city has brought me!
The relaxed atmosphere
The way in which Abu Dhabi and its people are so very relaxed and laid-back is brilliant. As a family, we like to chill out too, and Abu Dhabi is perfect for doing just that. My first camel ride, dune bashing in the desert, as well as camping under the stars, have all contributed to me loving the capital.
Concerts
Many singers have performed in Abu Dhabi, and I have enjoyed seeing nearly all of them. Abu Dhabi continually attracts big names, such as Aerosmith, Alicia Keys, George Michael and Coldplay, to name but a few. I can’t wait to see Madonna in June at du Arena. I’m sure she’ll be a ‘Beautiful Stranger’ in Abu Dhabi and like me, come to love it!
