Dubai Tennis Championships 15-28 Feb 2026

As usual a brilliant event. Everything good. Staff looked after me from the entrance with help to the lift then gave me bottled water. V impressed.

VERY GOOD

Kiváló rendezés

I went for the WTA 500 week. It was a great experience. I originally purchased advance stadium tickets for the first round and quarter finals but to be honest there is no need as you can easily buy tickets at the venue for any of the rounds.

We sat in the west side seats which had the sun to one side during the day and then behind during the afternoon which seemed better than the east side which had sun in the faces of the spectators all day. All seating was free seating, so sit where you like. We tried various seats, high, low and to the sides and all provide a really good view of the court.

The Irish village is where the tournament is held and courts 1,2&3 are a minute walk from the main stadium. These courts are free to watch, so you could watch tennis all day for nothing or just pay to enter the stadium. The Irish village has loads of eateries and a large pub so plenty of choice when you are there.

Minus: Unpleasant, sometimes even disrespectful behavior of some members of the security, the Czech flag was missing (perhaps not visible) on the Grandstand, insufficient assortment offered by sellers of sports goods, t-shirts (only small sizes) and advertising and souvenir items.

Plus: Pleasant environment in the area, plenty of opportunities to refresh and relax.
