In addition, the imminent launch of our offering in Abu Dhabi in Q1, 2022, will enable more people to enjoy the benefits across the Emirates.”

The adv+ product will offer GEMS families exclusive rates on their choice of three, five or 10 club membership packages. Members also get discounts on food and beverages, as well as guest rates at all adv+ venues.
