- **Duration:** 4.5 hrs including transfer
- **Ideal start time:** 09:00 start — finishes at lunch, staff return to the office for the afternoon, or the day ends there

## Price per person, excluding 5% VAT

| Group size | Per person | Billed for at least |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| 15–29 people | AED 420 | 24 people |
| 30–59 people | AED 300 | 37 people |
| 60+ people | AED 260 | — |

A group smaller than a band's "billed for at least" figure is still served, and is invoiced for that many people.
Where a larger band costs less in total, it is quoted instead: groups of 27–29 are billed as 37 people at the rate for 30–59 people; groups of 53–59 are billed as 60 people at the rate for 60+ people.

Payment: 50% advance on signature. 100% cleared 3 working days before the event. Numbers lock 7 days prior.

## Why this is not the retail version

Venue-based team-building sessions are quoted around **AED 60–150 per person per hour**, which covers a facilitator and a room. Nothing else.

This is the room and the facilitator plus a designed competitive programme, catering, branding throughout, professional photography, awards, and a coordinator who runs the day so the HR manager can actually participate instead of managing logistics.

**The strategic point:** from May to September, every outdoor package in this catalog is unsellable. Competitors go quiet for five months. This package, D-01 and the ceremony line are what keep revenue alive across the summer — and clients remember who was still able to help them in July.
