Kite Beach has been a hive of activity over the last number of days in preparation for the Gov Games.

A world-class obstacle course that invites government teams from the UAE and surrounding countries (this year, nine other countries are joining) to compete for an AED1million prize.

The games are intended to drive positive change in the workplace and it’s growing year-on-year with a mix of male and female teams.
