The Dubai Travelers Festival is the leading
Travelers & Adventurers festival in the region where seasoned explorers

spirit of passion and adventure.

She arrived after continuously driving the Massey Ferguson MF 5610 tractor from Europe through Africa and across the rugged, icy landscape of Antarctica.
