Dubai Rugby Sevens 2009
Sightseeing in Dubai
Rugby Sevens' hosts, Dubai, offers everything for the perfect winter escape: sun, sea and sand. Luxury accommodation comes as standard and our tours include city and beach hotels and take in the world class beaches, shopping, golf, water sports and the barren beauty of the desert.
Things to do in Dubai
- Jump on an open top bus that takes in the major places of interest and is a great way to orientate yourself.
- Take a leisurely cruise along Dubai Creek onboard a traditional wooden Arabic Dhow, where you can soak up the superb city skyline and get a feel for Dubai’s trading heritage.
- Relax at a beach club on the golden sands of the Arabian Gulf.
- Indulge in shopping at one of the many bustling souks - there are plenty of bargains to be had or at a trendy shopping centre. Dubai isn’t known as the “shopping capital of the Middle East” for nothing!
- Explore the stunning mountain and desert scenery on a 4x4 tour – for the complete thrill, sand board down the dunes, followed by a traditional Arab barbecue under the stars.
- Take off in a hot air balloon and discover how Dubai’s tropical landscapes soon disappear into the surrounding sand dunes.
- Visit the famous gold market which houses more than 800 shops but be prepared to be dazzled – you may even succumb to temptation. More than 150 tons of gold are sold each year in Dubai.
