School Sports Tours to the UAE

Where ancient culture meets modern luxury

A school sports tour to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a great option for a multi-sport tour for teams wanting to play Football, Rugby, Netball or Cricket. Dubai offers incredible facilities and promises to be a world full of contrasts as you spend time in the vibrant metropolis and head out to the desert all in one trip. Abu Dhabi offers quality fixtures and warm hospitality, and when you’re not on the pitch you can explore all the big city sights, including the Sheikh Zayad Grand Mosque, and visit the city’s emerging entertainment and tourist destination of Yas Island, home to Waterworld, Ferrari World and the Abu Dhabi F1 track. The UAE has so much to offer and is a great mid-haul option with flight times approximately 8 hours from the UK.
