TEAM BUILDING DAY

Our yearly breath of fresh air, which typically takes place at the end of summer is an event we all look forward to. In 2018, this day packed with activities for adults and children alike took place in Arnaoun Village where families and friends gathered in a relaxing yet fun-packed setting. Arnaoon Village hosted our 1,000 ATTENDEES once again providing a relaxing yet fun-packed setting for adults and children to participate in many activities, creating new bonds and just enjoying a carefree day.
