Jebel Ali School in its own words

From the headteacher's welcome: "It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our school; one of Dubai’s happiest, oldest, and most successful schools. We opened our doors for the first time in September 1977 to provide education for the children of expatriate workers involved in the construction of Jebel Ali port."
