Two boatloads of enthusiastic ExpatWomem members teamed up with Jeep and Dubai Sea Dragons to try out this fun water sport in the calm blue waters off the beach at Mina Seyahi in March. 
 Despite a wide range of age, nationality and fitness levels they were soon hitting their stroke and quickly headed off in the direction of Palm Jumeirah.  A great example of women pulling together – quite literally!
   
   Still buzzing with the excitement of an exhilarating try out, they took a well earned break at the poolside coffee shop at Le Meridien for refreshments.   
     
     
   Lucky Rachael won a free Jeep for a weekend courtesy of the event’s sponsor!  Many more signed up for further training sessions with the dragon boating group.  See our City Life, Things to Do section for more details.
