Belly-dancing, Santa Claus and sleigh rides in the desert!
Dubai - Gulf Ventures, the Destination Management Company (DMC) of MMI Travel, has launched a new service to cater for those who would like to celebrate the upcoming festive season with a year-end party in the desert.
The company, one of Dubai's leading in-bound tourist companies, is offering complete tailor-made packages for both Christmas and New Year's parties that include transport from Dubai, an exciting drive over the dunes, live entertainment and sumptuous buffets, with the option to sleep over at the company's desert camps, for those with an added sense of adventure.
The Christmas party package includes a traditional Christmas dinner with roast turkey and plum pudding and, to get everyone onto the dance floor, a DJ lining up all the favourite Christmas hits. Afternoon kid's parties can also be arranged, and will include Santa's grotto, face painting, a treasure hunt and exciting party games.
"The end of year party is a great opportunity for people to let their hair down, and this year we're offering companies and groups of friends the chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and do something really memorable," enthused Mary Anne Boyers, Head of Gulf Ventures. "The idea of a belly-dancing Santa Claus, camel sleigh rides and donkeys dressed as reindeers has really tickled people's imaginations and we've had a great response so far. This will be a year end party that no one will ever forget!"
Gulf Ventures is one of the leading in-bound tourism companies in Dubai; the company operates two desert camps and hosts thousands of visitors every year. The company can cater for small groups through to large corporate gatherings in excess of 500 people and itineraries can be tailor-made to suit the requirements of any client.
"The task of organising an end of year party can be daunting, which is why we're offering an easy to book package in which we take care of all of the logistical arrangements," added Boyers. "The desert is a wonderful place at night and no one ever forgets the romance of sitting on top of a dune and looking at the stars; with our party packages we're making this experience even more accessible to the people of Dubai."
