Rugby Tours to Dubai
A fascinating city with a big rugby scene
Due to our excellent relationships with international schools and rugby clubs, we’ve developed an itinerary that showcases the best of Dubai with competitive rugby fixtures to match. We can even arrange for you to train like the pros at the Dubai Rugby Sevens venue before you take on local opposition. When the hard work on the pitch is done for the day, check out the main city sights, from Burj Khalifa to Jumeirah Beach to desert safaris.
