    Bring your ID

    Each team must submit a list of players to the Team Tours International administration before their first match of the tournament. All players MUST be able to identify themselves and to certify their age with a valid passport or registration card from their respective FA. Teams must be able to present this proof if and when required.

    Any team that fails to appear at the appointed time and place for a match without a valid excuse will automatically lose the match. If a team repeatedly fails to appear for fixtures, the team may be excluded from the tournament. In special cases, the tournament committee may decide to exclude a team at the first offence - i.e. if a deliberate act of not appearing favours their own team, or is unfair to another team in the group. If any team is excluded from the tournament, previous results will be void.

    Make sure you're insured

    Please make sure that all your players are insured, both on and off the playing field. Team Tours International does not carry any group insurance protecting participants in case of injury, illness, theft or damage to property.

Teams must only use players registered on their team sheet throughout the tournament, unless permission has been granted in extreme circumstances by the tournament directors.

    The museum was opened by the ruler of Dubai in 1971, with the aim of presenting the traditional way of life in the Emirate of Dubai. It includes local antiquities as well as artifacts from African and Asian countries that traded with Dubai. It also includes several dioramas showing life in the emirate before the advent of oil. In addition are artifacts from recent discoveries, dating as far back as 3000 B.C.

    Dubai Beaches

    Beautiful sun, sand and sea - that is what constitutes holidays in Dubai beaches. Dubai has a strange and unique combination of deserts and beaches.

    We are proud to be working with 7he Sevens events sports venue in Dubai, the proposed home for the 2012 International Super Cup. The purpose-built six-pitch sports complex offers a first-class home for a professional event that has gained so much in stature, it is a worthy host to international teams from around the globe, as well as the Middle East.

    The main pitch at 7he Sevens offers a natural finals pitch with a permanent grandstand which holds some 4,000 seats. There is also the potential to increase the capacity of the finals pitch by erecting temporary stands at 7he Sevens venue.

    Useful Information

  • Money - The unit of currency is the Dirham, which is made up of 100 Fils. The exchange rate is approximately 1 US$ = Dhs 3.67. All major credit cards are accepted at most hotels and malls.
  • Time zone - GMT/UTC +4
  • Electricity - 220/240V 50Hz - three-pronged square plugs (the same as those used in Britain and Ireland)
  • Language - Arabic (official) and English (widely used)
  • Country telephone code - +971
  • Religion - Islam (although other faiths are freely practised)
  • Water - tap water in Dubai is desalinated but generally safe to drink. Bottled water is usually very reasonable to buy though (around Dh 1 a bottle) and probably your best bet.
  • Weather

    November to April is the best time of year to be in Dubai. It's not nearly as hot as the steamy summer months that reach 50 degrees C, but also not too chilly. The average high for the month is around 26 degrees C while the low is around the 16 degree mark.

    Religion

    Islam is the official religion of the UAE and forms an extremely important part of its culture and daily life. The government of Dubai practices a policy of tolerance towards other religions, however, and the emirate is the only one to house churches and Hindu temples. It's important to remember local culture and beliefs when in Dubai; while visitors are not expected to cover up completely when it comes to clothing, some respect should be shown in terms of not dressing in too revealing a manner when not on the beach or at the pool.

    Alcohol is served in the hotels (and at the rugby ground), but cannot be consumed in public outside of these venues. Only residents who hold an official alcohol license may purchase it in shops.

    Also important to remember is that there is a zero tolerance policy when it comes to drunk driving, so if you have had even one drink, don't get behind the wheel of a car.

    UAE culture

    For older women, the home remains the sphere of activity, while younger women, benefiting from their access to modern education, are playing an ever-wider role in the society. An estimated 13% of the UAE's labour force is female, and women are increasingly represented in government posts.

    Reflecting the mix of modern and traditional influences, clothing styles in the UAE are both Western and indigenous. Most Emirati men wear the dishdasha, a white, loose-fitting garment that is comfortable in hot weather. Most women wear the enveloping black abaya and a face mask called the burka, although this tradition is beginning to be abandoned by younger, educated women.

    Courtesy and hospitality are among the most highly prized of virtues in the Arab world, and visitors will be charmed by the warmth and friendliness of the people in UAE.

    Visa regulations

    There are several types of visas for visitors to Dubai. Some visitors need to obtain a visa prior to travelling to the UAE, while others can obtain a visit visa, valid for 30 days, upon arrival.

    Nationals of the following countries can obtain a visit visa on arrival in the UAE:

    Andorra, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Monaco, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States of America, Vatican.

    AGCC country passport and certain visa holders also do not need to obtain a visa prior to travelling to the UAE. These countries include: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

    Please Note: It is important to consult the UAE Embassy or High Commission in your own country for the latest visa information before setting off on your travels, as visa regulations may change.
