Maybe all schools should consider doing this and then make sure to share that video when they are interviewing people to work with them.<\/p>\n<p>The sunset scene of this video is truly beautiful, and look at all those beautiful trees on the campus!<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully you are not actually leaving school at this time (assuming the sunset stays pretty similar throughout the year at around 18h or so), but if you were to, then it would indeed be a nice ride home.<\/p>\n<p>This video is reminiscent of a blog series we have called, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/internationalschoolcommunity.com\/blog\/category\/the-journey-to-school\">The Journey to School<\/a>.&#8221; In this blog series we get firsthand accounts of what it is like to travel both to and from various international schools from around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Living in the Middle East does sound very enticing. For one, the sun will most likely be out almost every day of the year. The summer will be quite hot, but the winter won&#8217;t be too cool.
