The collaboration, which is part of the Dubai-D33 Economic Agenda, will offer various unique and special experiences to both Dubai and Real Madrid fans.

Issam Kazim, CEO of Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DCTCM), hoped to “consolidate Dubai’s position among the top three global cities” by inking the deal with Los Blancos.
“This game-changing collaboration between Dubai and the greatest club in the world is built upon a shared vision and values, where every achievement serves as motivation to pursue new heights," Kazim said in a statement.
