Hey there! After an intense week of training and teamwork, the Desert Falcons know how to unwind in style. On Saturday, January 4th, the team gathered for a much-anticipated Team Dinner at the stunning Shangri La Qaryat Al Beri. And let me tell you, it was a night to remember!
A Feast Fit for Champions
The venue? None other than the luxurious Sofra Blvd, known for its amazing international buffet. The buffet theme was International, which means there was something delicious for everyone—from savory dishes to sweet treats. The buffet ran from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM, giving the team plenty of time to eat, chat, and enjoy the evening.
The price per person was AED 220, but thanks to a generous voucher worth AED 3000 (check out the details here), the team got to enjoy a fantastic meal without breaking the bank. Any remaining amount was divided among the attendees, and personal sponsors were more than welcome to chip in. How cool is that?
Gift Exchange: Adding a Dash of Fun
But wait, there’s more! To make the night even more special, the team organized a Gift Exchange. Everyone brought a gift worth around AED 30, and the excitement of swapping presents added a whole new layer of fun to the evening. Imagine the laughter and surprises as teammates unwrapped their gifts—it was like an early holiday celebration!
Who Was There?
The guest list was a star-studded lineup of Desert Falcons and a few special guests! Leading the pack was Intan, the heart and soul of the team, followed by the ever-energetic Is and the always-smiling Tonette. Janine and Ging brought their signature charm, while Bubbles lived up to her name with her bubbly personality.
Yti and Ferdz kept the vibes high, while Lemon added a zesty touch to the evening. Jobai and Loren were the dynamic duo, and Evie brought her infectious energy to the mix. Lamberto and Khaled, the team’s grounding forces, kept everyone steady and focused. Meanwhile, Nafih, Amjad, Osman, and Babiker were in their own world, as usual—doing their thing and keeping the team entertained.
The team’s senior members, Nheil and Glenn, brought wisdom and a touch of nostalgia to the table. And let’s not forget the supportive spouses and partners who joined in! A special shoutout to Erick, Jobai’s better half, for being there to cheer on the team.
Why Team Dinners Matter
So, why is a Team Dinner such a big deal? It’s not just about the food (though that’s definitely a highlight!). It’s about bonding, celebrating achievements, and strengthening the team spirit. After all, the Desert Falcons aren’t just teammates—they’re a family.
Events like this remind us that teamwork isn’t just about what happens on the water. It’s about building relationships, sharing laughs, and creating memories that last long after the plates are cleared.
