In Transit at Dubai International

If you want to see the working world on the move, one of the places where you get this feeling is the Dubai international airport. Here one finds persons of different cultures, races, backgrounds on the move. One thing that binds the millions who transit this airport is that they are all workers.

These true-life narratives give a window into the world of immigrants working in the Arab world. They capture the immigrant worker’s quest for survival, growth, meaning and dignity for oneself and one’s family.

“Who are my family ?” a long term immigrant worker asked one night. “My long term colleagues who are in similar situations? My sisters back home? Each one understands things in a different way, but no one is able to or even tries to see my whole story from my perspective.”
