When founded in 1989, it was the first European Tour event to be staged in the Arabian peninsula, and currently, it is one of the six major European Tour golfing events in UAE. The tournament is part of a government program called “Dubai Golf,” which aims to develop both professional and casual golf tourism in Dubai. Promoted and organized by Golf in Dubai Falcon and Associates, the tournament is fondly referred to as the ‘Major of the Middle East’ because of its longevity and the world-class field that it attracts every year. 

If you are a golf enthusiast and happen to visit Dubai in January 2020, make sure you do not miss this iconic event. Guaranteed to be a showcasing of the world’s finest golfing talents, this tournament is a must-attend for every golf fan.
