Fantasy Kingdom – a unique theme park located within Al Bustan Centre & Residence, the deluxe hotel apartments which offer world-class services and facilities in Dubai, was filled with waves of cheers and laughter when the winners of Special Olympics 2007 came to stay at the property recently.
After their triumphant participation in various sporting events in Shanghai, China, the UAE delegation was welcomed by the management and friendly staff of the property for special treats at Fantasy Kingdom. It gave the delegates the opportunity to mingle with other children and a chance to get involved in a range of fun activities including thrilling rides, live shows, and games. These special children have brought pride and prestige to the country, having won some 24 medals in different categories in the annual meet.
Moussa El Hayek, General Manager of Al Bustan Centre and Residence, said: “It was an honour and privilege to have those children at our property. They had a great time at Fantasy Kingdom which is the major provider of sport activities to all children including those with special needs. Our aim is to provide equal opportunity to all kids to experience the joy of life. Thus it was heartening to see that the special Olympic team had a great time at our theme park.”
He added the property encourages its staff to get involved with the local community and was delighted to greet its special guests. “We always embrace such opportunities because we believe in giving back to the community we live in. We celebrated the determination and winning spirit of the Special Olympics team - memories of which will last them a lifetime.”
For the last many years, Al Bustan Centre & Residence has proved what a great host it is and has continued to provide opportunities to athletes with special needs. The property’s central location and the great sports facilities make it the most enjoyable experience for everyone.
