Awafi Festival 2007

Discover the true spirit of Arabia in Ras Al Khaimah

Once again the yearly Awafi Festival will be organized and hosted by the Economic Department of Ras Al Khaimah (RAK). For the fourth continuous year the event will take place in different locations in the whole Emirate from January 11th until February 2nd 2007.

 

 

The festival is considered to be a unique place for family getaways and for all those searching a break from the congested life of hectic cities. By enjoying the magic of the sand and the breath-taking landscape of RAK you will surely forget that Awafi is only a one hour drive away from the metropolitan Dubai. The event venue is divided into various sections featuring a heritage village, a bazaar and a children’s play zone. Football and volleyball tournaments, music shows, horse and camel races, shooting championships and many more activities will be presented to the visitors.

The Awafi Festival is also proud of its reputation as a famous venue for car races and sand dune climbing competitions. The races will be held in two categories for four and eight cylinder vehicles and another section of fourwheel vehicles and motorcycles.
