Cricket Tours to Abu Dhabi
Quality fixtures and warm hospitality
If you think you have to travel halfway across the world to play quality cricket at top-class facilities, think again! Less than an 8 hour flight from London, a cricket tour to Abu Dhabi could be just the thing for your team, where competitive fixtures and warm hospitality await! When you’re not playing, check out 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.
