For the 2nd year running, Artaaj Events was chosen to manage the anniversary celebrations for the Dubai Airport Free Zone Authority. An evening of fun festivities ensued with surprise appearances by local celebs, games, fabulous entertainment, as well as an award ceremony.
Dr Mohammad Al Zarouni, Director General, DAFZA and the Managing Director of Dubai Aerospace Enterprise presided as the chief guest. Held at Dubai’s latest 5 star property, The luxurious Monarch hotel, the guests were greeted by violin music floating in the air and hostesses dressed in gold. The ballroom was bathed in hues of green and the stretched-fabric stage provided a stunning backdrop for our creative lighting designer.
The evening began with the awards ceremony, celebrating amongst others – 5 years of service & distinguished employees. ‘’Guess who and whose’’ was the first game of the evening – as guests had to guess who their colleagues were – not so easy as their photos had been put through an “aging simulator” (read as Razi, our long suffering visualizer, sitting late into the night modifying everyone’s photos to look many years older)!

The treasure hunt game was great fun – with everyone getting up and running around trying to find the 5 objects in the quickest time. The guests really were good sports, during the charade game – they were up on stage getting into the spirit and dancing like rapstars and singing in the shower! Later, an illusionist entertained the crowd and DAFZA had some wonderful gifts and prizes for their staff kindly supplied by their sponsors.
All our hard work paid off when we had some great feedback from the client the following day: “On behalf of DAFZA I would like to thank you and the whole team of ARTAAJ for the great effort you put in DAFZA annual party to make it a successful event. We really appreciate your time and support. We are looking forward to do it all over again in 2008.”
Thanks for that, Asma, it was great to work with you and Yasmin and Muna, we too had a great time organizing the event and we are definitely looking forward to next year’s bash!
