Football Tours to Dubai
Where ancient tradition meets ultra-modern living
Thanks to our extensive knowledge of the city and our contacts at local international schools, we can provide you with well-matched competitive fixtures and a fun-filled itinerary to accompany them.
Your centrally located 4-star hotel has excellent facilities, including an outdoor pool and training pitches which you can use to prepare before you face your local opposition. With so much to do in the city, your players can brave the vertical slides at Aquaventure, burn some rubber with a go-karting session at the Dubai Aquadrome and experience indoor skiing.
