At Emirates, we are giving Kenyan Golf fans a chance to go and watch this fantastic tournament by offering special package starting at $102 per person, per night, based on double occupancy and a four-night stay".
When Ahmad mentioned phenomenal, big names like Lee Westwood and Tiger Woods automatically came into the mind. Both are said to be competing for the first time since the Ryder Cup and ironically, both have a score to settle.

Classic Season Pass (admission to Dubai Desert Classic on all days including the Pro-Am on 9th February), and all taxes and service charges”.
To execute the idea, the airline joined hands with seven hotels in Dubai, who will offer four-night packages to the winners of the trip during the entire event.
The purpose of this trip is to cash in on the opportunity of a mega tournament, which will attract international attention and tourists. Dubai Desert Classic golf tournament is one of the flagship events of the desert swing, which is why it has the USD$2.5
million prize fund on offer.
The tournament has a unique layup. It starts with a practice day, practice matches, and gradually rolls into the 72-hole event.
