We started day 7 of our adventures in Dubai by waking up for an 8am site visit on a Saturday morning! After the desert adventure yesterday many of us had a tough time waking up but we all managed to get to the vans on time. Today, all of us visited the Yotel Hotel site where we saw some exciting features like the curtain wall installation, reinforcement for the pool, and hotel room finishing. Some of us were able to lay a CMU brick wall with the help of the workers on site.

On the way back to the DCC office, many of the students passed out from the exhaustion of the past week's activities!

At the DCC office, we were relieved to find out that there was no quiz today. Instead, we were able to receive an informative lecture on financials and its pertinence to the construction industry, specifically financial statements, bonds and equities.
After eating a very American lunch of lasagna, pizza, and Jell-o, we were able to go home to the hotel early! Some of us took a half-day trip to the Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark on the Palm Jumeirah, where we rode some fun water rides and took in the amazing views of the Persian Gulf.

After returning to the hotel, some of us got Thai food for dinner while the rest went to Festival City mall to eat dinner and catch a fountain show. All in all, a fun and tiring day!
