Winter doesn’t just mean better weather for us, but it also represents an opportunity to enjoy a host of high-profile outdoor sports and get up close with the world’s sporting elite that our country attracts with an undeniable magnetism.
While the annual Formula One race at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi sets the tone for the season, the DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates hosts some of the world’s top players. Then there is Dubai Marathon that has a double appeal. Not only does this time of year offer ideal temperatures and near-certain sunny days when many other places are wintry and bleak, but it gives participants the opportunity to be near some of the best runners in the world. This week, tennis fans in Abu Dhabi saw Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray – who will soon be Sir Andy – in action at the Mubadala World Tennis Championships.
So if you are wondering where the best outdoor sports can be enjoyed in winter, the answer is here.
