Golf on the Gulf: Dubai and Abu Dhabi
For the last 20 years, one burgeoning desert-born metropolis of steel, gold and sand, has captured the world's business elite. Dubai is a marvel of modernity and innovation, continuing to push the very limits of modern design and man’s capabilities. Traditionally, the tourism industry in Dubai has catered to that single dimension, but in the last decade, the money and the minds that have built Dubai and now Abu Dhabi too, have found room for play.

Along with the Emirates Club and the Abu Dhabi Golf Club, new layouts like the Els Course, Gary Player's Saadiyat Island and Kyle Phillips' Yas Links are turning the UAE into one of the world’s foremost golf destinations. Like the past two champions of the Dubai Desert Classic, Lee Westwood and Irish sensation Rory McIlroy, Dubai’s golf scene has one foot in the present, and the other firmly in the future.

Paired with some of the cultural fascinations of the Middle East, including an evening desert safari to a Bedouin campsite, complete with camel rides, a traditional, catered Arab dining experience, and post-show entertainment under the Arabian Desert night sky, join us to discover the Dubai that time, nature and man built.

A short drive down the coast takes us to another of the seven Emirates, Abu Dhabi.

Destined to be a global hub of international commerce, culture, and tourism, Saayidat is home to the recently constructed Louvre Abu Dhabi and a Frank Gehry-designed Guggenheim, multiple six- and seven-star (!) luxury hotel resorts, and the only seaside golf course on the Arabian Gulf.

Between tee times, beach time, and tours of modern architectural masterpieces, we will also find time to explore the spiritual at Zaved Mosque, the sixth largest in the world and a reminder of the Emirates’ historic roots.

An exercise in contrasts, join us to discover the new and old, Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
