The Meydan Racetrack is one of the largest and most impressive venues in Dubai. This is not just a place for horse racing, but a whole sports and cultural complex with modern architecture and a high level of organization. The most prestigious equestrian competitions are held here, including the Dubai World Cup, the largest horse racing event of the year. Everything is set up at the highest level: huge stands, comfortable areas for guests, beautiful views of the running track and manicured lawns. Even if there are no arrivals, you can come here for a walk and an atmosphere. There is a museum of equestrian sports, restaurants, a promenade, a hotel and view areas where you can have a good time. The size of the building itself and the panoramic views from the stands are particularly impressive. On competition days, everything turns into a real show — with a well-dressed audience, performances, music and amazing organization. This is not only a sport, but also a spectacle. The racetrack is located a little away from the city center, but it is convenient to get there. This place is definitely worth seeing, even if you are not a fan of horse racing. Meydan is about the scale, style and spirit of a big event. I highly recommend it.

One of the most exciting experiences in Dubai (after the Bursh Khalifa and the zoo in Al Ain) is horse racing. We took tickets to the VIP area, the price does not bite, about 60 dirhams seems to be worth more than one. But at the treadmill, on soft sofas, or at the choice of the horses' exit and the place of their awarding. There are also huge screens to watch the horses running in close-up and the results. It is easy to get there by car, there is free parking. Tickets for about 10 dirhams (I don't remember exactly) on a box that is quite far away, you need binoculars.
