These amongst other activities would build the 6 nights Afrobeat Dubai Soundoff experience.”

The winners of the giveaways will receive flight tickets, hotel accommodation, tours, airport transfers, and visa’s (where necessary).
The global acceptance of the Soundoff has motivated Afrobeat fans and travel agencies from other parts of the world to push for participation in the Soundoff. Two countries, Uganda and Zimbabwe launched their entry to the Soundoff family on November 1, 2021, while other countries are being considered to follow shortly.
Salim Ali Mohamed Dahman, senior manager, Campaigns of Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing, hosts of the Soundoff, said: “It is a privilege for Dubai Tourism to afford this opportunity to lovers of Afrobeat music worldwide. Afrobeat is now a global brand, the fastest growing music genre out there, and so it’s a good marriage for the best destination in the world, Dubai, to also give Afrobeat its due. The trip promises to be a great experience, showcasing so much more fun in Dubai, a new series of adventures, a desert safari party, and Expo 2020, that can only truly be experienced, in person.
“We launched the Afrozons Dubai soundoff on October 1st with Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, USA, and Angola. Overwhelming success has prompted us to add Uganda, Zimbabwe, and it looks like the United Kingdom is next on our list. It’s great to see the enthusiasm that has already been generated and we haven’t even announced the Afrobeat artist that will be joining us yet. Stay tuned, it promises to be an amazing event.”
