Attractive Stay Packages For Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens
New Zealand
rugby sevens enthusiasts have a special three-night
package
offer from Emirates Airline this year for the
first round of the new world
sevens series, to be held in
Dubai at the end of November.
To be staged from November
30 to December 2, the event is set to break all
previous
attendance records with more than 140 teams and 1,750
players
expected as part of what has become one
of the most unique carnival
atmospheres to be found at
any sporting occasion. The focus will again be
on
reigning champions New Zealand.
Emirates' New Zealand
manager Chris Lethbridge said: "Dubai is one of the
top
venues for sevens rugby. The weather is great, the
organisation is
excellent and Dubai itself is such a
dynamic and interesting place."
The international
invitational, Gulf, local social, ladies, veterans
and
youth competitions run alongside the
Emirates-sponsored IRB series
tournament and make for
an action-packed three-day event.
Thousands of visitors
from the region and beyond are expected to make this
a
truly colourful occasion and a traditional Arabian welcome
awaits fans
from across the world.
The packages,
priced from the equivalent of US$80 for a basic
three-night
stay, provide a choice of fantastic
city hotels ranging from two- to
five-star properties.
The packages include:
- Personalised meet-and-assist
welcome on arrival at Dubai International
Airport
- Arabian Adventures welcome pack
- Transportation by
private car on arrival and departure between
Dubai
International Airport and the hotel
- Three-day season ticket for matches
- Three nights' accommodation in Dubai, including buffet breakfast
- All accommodation-related taxes and service charges
Visitors can also purchase additional nights on a bed-and-breakfast basis.
For travel from New Zealand prior to November 30,
the Dubai return economy
fare on Emirates is $1,777.
Emirates operates four return services a day to
Dubai
from New
Zealand.
