BEST FOR…CAR LOVERS
Thrillseekers should head to
Dubai Autodrome where groups of up to 56 can compete over a four-kilometre circuit. Cars available include sleek Audi TTs, four-wheel drive Subarus or, for those with a real taste for speed, single-seater racers. Sessions can be booked for half or full days.
BEST FOR…BEACH ACTION
Get down to the marina and catch a
catamaran between the islands. Here groups can see Dubai’s spectacular development at The World and The Palm projects, as well as the Burj Al Arab. Lunch is served on board and delegates can swim and
snorkel in the Arabian Gulf.
BEST FOR…GOLF GROUPS
Dubai has no shortage of impressive golf facilities. Situated in the Emirate Hills development is
The Montgomerie, a par-72 championship course that boasts the world’s largest green. Other prime spots include the 18-hole
Al Badia golf course and
Nakheel Golf, a collection of six courses designed by champion golfer, Greg Norman.
BEST FOR…DESERT FUN
From
dune-bashing to sand-skiing, Dubai offers plenty of desert-based activities. A traditional
Arabic feast under moonlight is still a must-do for any incentive group. Inside
Bedouin tents (desert tents), delegates can get painted with henna, listen to Arabic entertainment or watch belly dancing.
BEST FOR…SKIING
Work is already underway on
Sunny Mountain Ski Dome, a winter wonderland that opens later this year in Dubailand. For now, groups can get a taste of what is to come by visiting
Ski Dubai at Kempinski, the first ski-resort in the Middle East. Or head for the real mountains of Hatta instead. The
Hajar mountain range separates the UAE from Oman and Yemen.
BEST FOR…CULTURE SEEKERS
The
Deira Spice Souq is all that is left of the old
souq (market), once the largest in the Gulf.
Naif Souq is covered, like a traditional market. Groups will find everything from Iranian saffron to henna. The
souqs also provide an insight into the lives of Emiratis.
