After the second day of deliberations, we were invited to attend the grand opening of Dubai Knowledge Village, a new complex dedicated to the distance learning industry. The event was hosted by Dubai's Crown Prince Mohammed, who toured the Knowledge Village before sitting down to a grand feast with 600 or so invited guests.

	With all the media and security surrounding the prince, sometimes it was hard to get a steady photo of him.		Hundreds of people gather in the grand courtyard of the village to have dinner and view a multimedia presentation on the history of knowledge.
	The emcee of the performance quotes Arab and western scholars, from Al Kindi to John Dewey.		An actor performs as a medieval scholar.
