Rugby Tours to Dubai and Abu Dhabi
Our rugby tours to Dubai & Abu Dhabi incorporate both Emirates, visits to the 7evens ports zone and Dubai Sports City where students can tour the impressive facilities. Matches are played against local schools usually early in the morning on weekends or mid-evenings during the week when temperatures are a little cooler.
With low air fares tempting tourists to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) it’s little wonder that Dubai and Abu Dhabi have invested millions of Dirhams into its sporting infrastructure. The results are outstanding with high class rugby fields, arenas and stadia hosting matches for teams of all ages. An unmatched array of first class hotels, cultural sightseeing and exciting excursions per square mile than any other destination in our portfolio makes Dubai and Abu Dhabi an attractive option for your next school sports tour.
The summer temperatures exclude July and August as viable touring months yet that doesn’t prevent you stopping off for a few days as part of a longer haul trip to Asia or Oceania.
