The countdown is on. In less than 3 months, the 22nd edition of the Football World Cup will take place. Qatar, the host country
, will open the competition against Ecuador on November 20 at 7pm, at the Al-Bayt stadium in Al-Khor, north of Doha. The
opening ceremony promises to be spectacular, with over 2 million tickets already sold. For the occasion, the city of Dubai is decked out in lights, and
is gearing up for near-full occupancy throughout this new FIFA competition.
Dubai's first soccer hotel to open in November
Dubai plans to kick off the 2022 FIFA World Cup with the launch of NH Dubai The Palm in November. A
football-themed hotel, and the first of its kind in the United Arab Emirates. Offering breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea, the
Marina skyline, the Burj Al Arab and the Dubai Eye, it features 533 rooms, a rooftop infinity pool, beach access and unique
facilities, as well as a sports bar that will become a fan zone for soccer fans to enjoy watching the games.
Located to the west of The Palm Jumeirah, NH Dubai on The Palm will become a focal point for fans travelling to Qatar to attend
the region's biggest sporting event. However, as kick-off approaches on November 20, demand for
hotel rooms has surged in recent weeks. The Football Fans Dubai experience, organized by tourism agency Expat Sport, will therefore offer
advantageous packages to attend this unique and immersive sporting experience.
