I regret to say that they organized such big event we traveled 2 hours to arrived in RAK but their they kept the entry for family’s only. Really dishurting moments and more dishurting moments that the security their in the parking they are not allowing us to leave a parking to exit.
First of all if you announced such a big event why only for families entry, secondly if entries only for families please mentioned first its only for families not for bachelors.
Because of this happened i will never visit any event next time in my life.
Thank you to providing such kind of activities and events.
Happy New Year
