Dubai 7’s 2022 – Trading in the Cold of the UK for the Beautiful Sunshine of Dubai!

Our MSG Family returned to the UAE this year for the annual Dubai 7’s tournament. Meeting back up with old friends, making new memories, and enjoying everything that Dubai had to offer. Name a better way to end the year!

We caught up with tour operator Laura:

“Another successful trip to Dubai with MSG Tours. With this being my second trip to the Sevens as the Tour Leader, I knew we were all in for a treat, and we were not left disappointed. As always, the Sevens were planned to perfection with plenty of entertainment and activities for everyone. It was also great to catch up with some old faces and meet new ones for a fantastic weekend with lots of rugby. Hopefully, we'll see you all at the RWC next year!” – Laura (Tour Leader)

Results:

GB's men’s team started with the highlight of their tournament as they sprung a surprise victory over the current holders and eventual winners, South Africa. The women’s team, on the other hand, saw their highlight come against Brazil after a 38-7 demolition by the Brits. Both tournaments ended with the previous winners holding on to the trophies with South Africa defeating Ireland 21-5 in the men's final, whilst the women’s competition, ended with Australia, beating the All Blacks 26-19 in their final.

Hearing from our Supporters about their Experience of the 7’s:

“As a last-minute holiday booker to Dubai, I didn’t know what to expect or encounter on my visit. From Airport to Hotel door, I was always in safe hands with our tour guide Laura accompanied by a great bunch of fellow travelers.

In a nutshell, it is perhaps one of the greatest cities I have ever visited & to cap it off with the Dubai 7s weekend with a great bunch of friends was superb.

Sun, Sea & Rugby… MSG truly delivered the unexpected…

So good in fact. Dubai 2023 is already in my diary.” – Jonathan Smith (Returning MSG tourist).

Another successful tour! We look forward to seeing everyone in Dubai again in 2023.

Pink and green text reads, “Let’s Get Touring! It’s Only Live Once.”
