The Waterfront Market is set to host the Euro Cup Dragon Boat Championship in Dubai, taking place outside of Europe for the first time.
The event will run on 10 and 11 December.
The championship will see 100 teams from 12 countries participate to win the trophy.
The 250m and 500m races will be held at the Waterfront Market promenade, where the audience can enjoy a spectacular sight of over 1,000 paddlers as well as dragon boat drummers.
Mohammed Al Madani, Waterfront Market Manager said, "The Waterfront Market is very proud to be hosting the Euro Cup Dragon Boat Championship. Having hosted two Dragon Boat challenges already this year, our promenade has proved to be the ideal location for speculating water sports on the Corniche. This event promises to be a wonderful weekend of entertainment for all ages."
