SPORT & SEASON
Dubai's sporting calendar sits in the cool months — tennis, sevens, cricket and camels between November and March.
Dubai Duty Free Tennis
An ATP and WTA fortnight at the Aviation Club courts in Garhoud each February; ground passes cost a fraction of centre-court seats.
Dubai Rugby Sevens
Three days of international sevens and social rugby at The Sevens stadium on the Al Ain road, held in early December.
Cricket at Sports City
Dubai International Stadium takes internationals and the winter T20 league between roughly October and February; upper-tier tickets stay cheap.
Camel racing, Al Marmoom
Winter mornings at the Al Marmoom track bring robot-jockey races along the rail — free to watch, with owners' 4x4s chasing alongside.
