MICEreview appreciates the support from Dubai Tourism Despite all the high-tech glitz and glamour in Dubai, what is a MICE event in the UAE without some desert experience? Go for an exhilarating sand-dune four-wheel drive, a lazy ride on a camel, or spot endangered arabian oryx and gazelles and end with a theme dinner in the desert conservation reserve.
MICE groups traveling to any city in the world would probably need some sort of introduction to the destination. Usually, a pre-show city tour would suffice. For MICE groups visiting Dubai, the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding (SMCCU) reaches out and educates MICE visitors and expatriates on the traditions and customs of the UAE in more interesting ways.
Dubai is famous for its skyscrapers, unique architecture and man-made islands. What better way to enjoy this than from the air. One of the coolest way to experience this is to board a sea-plane. Passengers can appreciate the golf resorts and skyline at eye-level as the plane glides through the glittering water, then slowly ascend to admire Dubai’s magnificent architectures and developments from a bird’s-eye view.
Mandarin Oriental Jumeira is one of the newest hotel in Dubai. Opened for just about two months, it is already enjoying almost full occupancy. This is not surprising as the hotel is probably one of the few hotels in Dubai with its own private beachfront on Jumeira beach. On entering the lobby, guests are greeted by two rows of large bronze trees with glass leaves, and this visual perspective extends outdoors with real palm trees, leading to the pool and the beach.
InterContinental Dubai Festival City has a total of 19 meeting rooms. Its largest ballroom, Al Ras, can accommodate up to 1,300 guests in theatre-style seating. The ceiling height, at a little above five meters, is modestly high. The second largest ballroom can fit up to 1,000 guests in theatre-style seating, but the ceiling height is even lower at 4.3 meters.
