These included the newest addition Bowling (Held at the Dubai Bowling Center), Kart Racing, Golf, Dragon Boat Racing, Cricket, Badminton, Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Tennis, Squash, Table Tennis, Swimming, Running, Tug of War, Backgammon, PlayStation and Baby Foot.

Choueiri Group’s vibrant teams and athletes (Assembled from the Group’s regional offices, including Dubai and Beirut) participated across all major tournaments, with the Group’s usual dedicated lounge and hospitality area welcoming friends, family-members, fans and supporters throughout the weekend.
