American University in Dubai

Die American University in Dubai, AUD (deutsch: amerikanische Universität in Dubai) ist eine private Universität in der Stadt Dubai, Vereinigte Arabische Emirate. An ihr studieren 1.800 Studenten. Die nach US-amerikanischen Vorbild 1995 gegründete Campus-Universität befindet sich im Stadtteil Jumeirah im Quartier zwischen der Dubai Media City und der Dubai Internet City. Die AUD besteht aus einer Schule für Unternehmenswirtschaft, die den Abschluss MBA anbietet, einer Schule für Ingenieurwesen, einem Fachbereich für Informationstechnologie, einem Fachbereich für visuelle Kommunikation, einem Fachbereich für Innenarchitektur, einer Abteilung für die Sieben Freien Künste (Artes liberales) sowie einem Zentrum für englische Sprachkenntnisse. Die Universität immatrikuliert sowohl internationale als auch einheimische Studenten. Wie in den VAE inzwischen üblich, ist auch hier die Mehrheit der Studierenden weiblich. Der Lehrkörper setzt sich zu einem großen Teil aus Dozenten und Professoren aus angelsächsischen Ländern sowie Indien zusammen, weil man den Bedarf mit einheimischem Nachwuchs noch nicht annähernd decken kann.

Adhari Park

Adhari Park is an amusement park located in the Kingdom of Bahrain. It is named after the nearby historic freshwater spring known locally as Ain Adhari (Arabic: عين عذاري). Park history The park is located south of the town of Bilad Al Qadeem and west of the Zinj district of the Bahraini capital Manama. It is positioned alongside the Shaikh Isa Bin Salman highway which connects southern Manama westbound to central Bahrain and ending at the King Fahd Causeway to Saudi Arabia. The area surrounding the spring being first remodeled in 2003 at a cost of 600,000 Bahraini dinars. Further renovation work in the 2000s costing 15 million Bahraini dinars ($22 million) was completed. It opened to the public in April 2008 and covers an area of 165,000 square meters. It has 8 outdoor and indoor rides for people of all ages, a Family Entertainment Centre, a food outlet at the Food Court, a dine-in restaurant, multiple coffee shops, and 1200 parking spaces. In 2009, the park reported 800,000 visitors since its opening. In the 2010s, the park developed debts exceeding 900,000 Bahraini dinars in municipal and rental fees. This was partly blamed in the aftermath of the 2011 Bahrain unrest which saw a decline in visitors to the park in the years that followed, a trend that was observed in the tourism sector overall at the time. An out of court settlement was achieved in 2017 between the Adhari Park Development Company which manages the park and the Capital Trustees Authority. The park temporarily closed in September 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic as it was unable to pay 34,000 Bahraini dinars in outstanding electricity and water bills. Adhari Spring Adhari Spring is a freshwater spring that is regarded as the largest in Bahrain; it had been mentioned in Bahraini folklore for at least 800 years, with historians believing it being much older. One myth states the spring was founded by a girl searching for water although other folklore exist. The spring is traditionally a site for recreation amongst Bahraini families with its cool waters, and its natural channels were historically used as a washing site for clothes prior to the widespread use of laundry machines. It fell into disrepair by the early 2000s with its stagnant waters leading to the proliferation of algae and moss, and the spring itself drying out alongside its channels. The spring was re-developed in 2006 into a modern swimming pool but was plagued with persistent structural issues such as tile damage, water seepage and crack formations. The spring was closed in early 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Bahrain and has yet to be re-opened as of January 2026.

Adliya

Adliya (Arabic: العدلية) is the bohemian neighborhood in Manama, Bahrain. Etymology Adliya is said to mean "place of justice" - although initially it was referred to as Zulm Abad (Persian: ظلم‌آباد), like other city names of Bahrain with Persian roots, the original name implied that this is a place of "oppression" and was similar to the name of a village in Gotvand County, Khuzestan, Iran – contrary to the original name, this place is not a place of oppression, rather, it has become the city of lovers. Overview The district is a multicultural, busy area, a home to commerce, culture and entertainment, and it is considered one of the four centres of Manama's nightlife. In the last few years, many of the old townhouses have been turned into art galleries, cafes and chic restaurants, causing some analysts to term the area as being bourgeois. As a result of the developing trend, Adliya is known for its clustered cafes, art galleries, bars, pubs, clubs and restaurants, including popular venues, such as BJ's, JJ's, Lilou's, The Meat Co. and Candle's. Adliya attracts many local residents and tourists alike. Galleries The district is the heartland of art galleries in Bahrain. Notable galleries in the area include the Albareh art gallery, Al Riwaq art gallery, Kalabhavan Bahrain institute amongst others.
