The club hosts one of Dubai’s biggest annual events, the Dubai Rugby Sevens (www.dubairugby7s.com). Held in early December, the final of this three-day Bacchanalian jamboree of sport and booze hosts over 30, 000 spectators, all crammed into a temporary stadium built expressly for the 7s. If you’re a rugby fan, don’t miss it. Book well ahead. Tickets are scarce in the final days leading up to the event.
