Racing at Meydan brings communities together to celebrate and rejoice over a sport that is a significant part of the UAE’s rich culture and history. It is a truly moving experience for everyone, not just equestrians, and like many high-profile events hosted in the emirates, it puts Dubai on the world stage.
