World Famous International Venue

7he Sevens is one of Dubai's leading sports and entertainment venues, and plays host to dozens of events throughout the year. The purpose-built, six-pitch sports complex became the new home of the Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens in 2008 and was the venue of the 2009 IRB Sevens Rugby World Cup.

7he Sevens is located on the outskirts of Dubai and is quickly becoming the new home of rugby in the Middle East.

What The Venue Offers

The temporary main stadium can seat up to 50,000, including the permanent stand seating, which holds 4,000 people. Next to the stadium, the Grandstand houses eight international standard changing rooms, match officials rooms, media rooms, medical and physiotherapy rooms and additional rooms for event management offices. The site is easy to access and provides parking for up to 15,000 cars.

Hospitality areas, broadcast and medical facilities and changing rooms also feature in the design, as well as a 30-metre wide rugby promenade, featuring cafes and food outlets.

The rugby pitches are located close to an 80-metre long clubhouse that houses the offices of the United Arab Emirates Rugby Association – the governing body of rugby in the region.

7he Sevens Rooftop

7he Sevens’ spacious Rooftop offers spectacular views of the Dubai skyline in the distance, and the pitches below, and offers a full catering and bar service, along with easy lift access.

The Rooftop is the perfect setting for anything ranging from corporate events to a casual drink with friends or team-mates.

Pavilion

7he Sevens Bar provides a comfortable and relaxing environment in which to enjoy a sociable drink and meal with friends or team-mates after a match.

The Bar screens a range of international sporting events on its big-screen TVs, and also overlooks our sports pitches, enabling spectators to enjoy supporting their team, wherever they are, from the air-conditioned comfort of the Bar.

The Bar also features an adjacent Games Room, complete with TV, pool table, dart boards and other ways to pass the time.

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.
