The Western media amplified the situation, making the atmosphere even more unsettling. Sure, we could see and hear the missiles being intercepted, and many were frightened; some even left the city. However, over time, a sense of security and trust in the government returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malgr\u00e9 cette exp\u00e9rience, je reste convaincu que Duba\u00ef demeure plus s\u00fbre que beaucoup d\u2019autres villes que j\u2019ai visit\u00e9es. Le gouvernement prend soin de ses habitants et r\u00e9sidents avec un niveau de rigueur et d\u2019organisation qui force l\u2019admiration, surtout lorsqu\u2019on le compare \u00e0 la gestion de crises dans d\u2019autres pays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malheureusement, le revers de la m\u00e9daille r\u00e9side dans l\u2019impact consid\u00e9rable de cette crise sur le secteur touristique. Bien que nous ayons abord\u00e9 ce th\u00e8me dans le cadre de notre cours sur la gestion de crise, je n\u2019aurais jamais imagin\u00e9 qu\u2019il se traduirait par des effets aussi tangibles et imm\u00e9diats sur le terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.mm.ehb.be\/trm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/111\/2026\/04\/IMG_3270-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.mm.ehb.be\/trm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/111\/2026\/04\/IMG_3270-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sites.mm.ehb.be\/trm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/111\/2026\/04\/IMG_3270-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/sites.mm.ehb.be\/trm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/111\/2026\/04\/IMG_3270-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/sites.mm.ehb.be\/trm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/111\/2026\/04\/IMG_3270-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.mm.ehb.be\/trm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/111\/2026\/04\/IMG_3270-1200x1600.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/sites.mm.ehb.be\/trm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/111\/2026\/04\/IMG_3270-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I still highly recommend everyone to visit Dubai. You can network so much here and meet a lot of people. Everyone in Dubai is really driven in their work. You have growth opportunities like in no other country because Dubai is known for its fast development, innovation, and strong focus on business and ambition. It\u2019s a place where hard work really pays off, and where you are constantly surrounded by people who are building something for their future.<br>For this reason, I am certain that I will also migrate to Dubai soon for my career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dans mon stage en sales au <strong>Al Bandar Rotana et Al Bandar Arjaan by Rotana<\/strong>, ils sont tr\u00e8s solidaires, dr\u00f4les, et j\u2019ai d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 un fort sentiment d\u2019appartenance ici. Au d\u00e9but, j\u2019avais peur de venir parce que je n\u2019avais jamais travaill\u00e9 dans un autre pays auparavant. Tout le monde a laiss\u00e9 sa famille dans son pays d\u2019origine et est motiv\u00e9 \u00e0 construire sa carri\u00e8re aux \u00c9mirats arabes unis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During my internship, I supported the sales team with their daily tasks and learned how a hotel deals with business clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mes principales t\u00e2ches consistaient \u00e0 traiter les demandes des clients et \u00e0 les enregistrer dans le syst\u00e8me. I helped preparing BEO&#8217;s, quotation and offers for companies and clients. this helped me understand the importance of working precise and organised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was working on the client follow-up via email, helping to maintain positive client relationships and ensure timely communication. I also supported MICE activities, assisting in the organization and coordination of meetings, incentives, conferences, and events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cette exp\u00e9rience m\u2019a beaucoup appris et a confirm\u00e9 mon int\u00e9r\u00eat pour une carri\u00e8re \u00e0 Duba\u00ef.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Te voil\u00e0 enfin, apr\u00e8s avoir attendu un an pour r\u00e9aliser ton stage \u00e0 Duba\u00ef.
