In pictures: the UAE's educational pioneers

June 3, 2013, Abu Dhabi, UAE: Abbas Ali Al Khoori is the CEO of Maqta Bridge Engineering. He is also one of the first UAE nationals to go abroad to study. As part of a larger feature The National went to Mr. Al Khoori's home to learn more about his studies in England. He had very fond memories of his host family, teaching 2 grown men how to swim, and trying Hagus for the very first time. He is seen here in his living room. Lee Hoagland/The National
