Sponsored by Shaikh Holdings, a leading Dubai-based real estate investment and development company, the tournament was staged at the stunning Dubai Creek and Yacht Club.

The day long event saw a record turnout of over a hundred VIPs and high profile professionals from the real estate industry, the media and golfing enthusiasts, take part in the action.

As the official sponsor of the Golf Classic, Shaikh Holdings played host to industry professionals and colleagues, and provided them with a great platform to build relationships amongst industry peers from the region. Over the years, the annual Golf Classic event has been a favourite amongst leading Dubai real estate personalities to connect at, prior to the opening of the Cityscape conference.

Mr. Imran Shaikh, CEO, Shaikh Holdings, said:
"As the most strategic business to business real estate event in the region, Cityscape Dubai is where international decision makers come together to formulate and share industry views and their vision for the future. We at Shaikh Holdings are proud to be associated with such an internationally profiled event. In the spirit of excellence, we are also delighted to have partnered with Cityscape to host such an event for professionals in the real estate industry."


"The turn out this year has been spectacular. The players represented a diverse international mix, with some that have travelled from as far as North America and Europe, and others representing locally from the UAE and the region. We have also done things a little differently this year, giving residents from our Sanctuary Falls golf development an opportunity to play in the tournament and get to know some of their fellow neighbours," he added.

Shaikh Holdings has been a leading institutional investor in the Dubai real estate market since 2002 and is currently developing Sanctuary Falls, part of Jumeirah Golf Estates. A luxury golf development, Sanctuary Falls is an award winning project which offers residents a unique golf resort lifestyle in Dubai.

"Golf has gained immense popularity in the UAE and within the region over the last decade. As official sponsor of the tournament, we are committed not only to building quality golf communities but also to promoting the game of golf within the UAE. Also a developer we believe, that is important not only to build quality homes, but to support the community that develops around them," Shaikh said.

With golf increasing in popularity as a luxury sport, Sanctuary Falls at Jumeirah Golf Estates will provide its residents with the opportunity to live in a resort style residential community with access to signature golfing facilities and luxury lifestyle services.

The Sanctuary Falls community, situated in Jumeirah Golf Estates features a collection of 96 resort-style villas overlooking the Earth golf course, designed by Greg Norman. With the Earth course as host venue for the inaugural Dubai World Championship, Sanctuary Falls will not only offer high value luxury homes overlooking the Earth course but will provide a life-time experience for residents to witness the world's richest Golf tournament.
