Hi all, been in Dubai for a couple of weeks now, about to have my first experience of the rugby 7's this weekend - just wanting to find out is it best to stay on-site during and afterwards or is there anywhere else in Dubai that's doing anything specifically for it?

Cynical answers from long term expats who have been away from the UK for too long will be ignored

Normally we go from midday until around 8pm, then head to a bar. Barasti is pretty good when 7s are on.

Or the IV (Irish Village). Buses are provided from the event to both Barnasty and the IV.

As the others have said, free buses to Barasti and IV, as well as maybe somewhere else, can't remember.

We stay until 8ish as well I guess, but not sure....the Heineken tent is good but in my opinion, should be saved until the end of the day. Go and get in the DHL stand with a couple of cool bags of beers and enjoy the rugger with beers.

There's also buses from McGettingans @ DWTC and the new sports bar in the Movenpick JLT (I forget its name) in the morning/lunchtime. A full breakfast, a pint and a free bus out in the morning is a good way to start the day...

Great shout that mate, thanks.

Been considering options on how to get there as last time I did two laps of business bay dressed as a baker trying to find a cab.

What's the costume theme this year? Decent chance I'll go from Neze's or McGett's DWTC, need to know who to avoid

That would be telling...but don't worry, we're not a rowdy bunch of helmets.
