November in Dubai generally means plenty of sporting action, and after nearly 18 months of pandemic induced absence, sportsmen of every shape and expertise are back with a vengeance - the calendar is now full of top quality events.
I have a friend in town who is a big cricket fan, so we have already seen England beat Australia (in Dubai) and Sri Lanka (in a rather sweaty Sharjah) in the T20 World Cup with Jos Butler superb in both matches (his century against Sri Lanka with a six off the last ball will live long in the memory).
We also have tickets to the S. Africa game on Saturday as well as the semis and the Final, so we will not be short of cricketing action.
Tomorrow is also the Rugby Long Lunch - a mainstay of the annual social calendar, and over the next couple of weeks we have golf and tennis both in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. With EXPO 2020 also in full swing, Dubai is very much the place to be, and judging by the increase in UK visitors over the last few weeks, we are not alone in taking full advantage!
