Tour Details

The Dubai World Cup is the grand finale of the Dubai World Cup Carnival, bringing a month of world-class racing to a spectacular climax with unmatched speed, prestige, and record-breaking prize money.

With so much at stake, horse racing doesn’t get more thrilling than this. The electric atmosphere, the world’s finest horses, jockeys, and trainers, and the sheer grandeur of Meydan Racecourse make this an experience not to be missed. As a guest, you’ll have the opportunity to mingle with racing’s biggest names while soaking up the excitement of this prestigious event.

Beyond the track, there’s time to explore Dubai, a city where luxury meets tradition. Our adventure includes a scenic river cruise, a visit to the Burj Khalifa, an exhilarating desert safari, and more—ensuring the perfect blend of world-class racing and unforgettable travel experiences.

What Our Clients Say 

Read testimonials from our happy clients and discover
what makes us different.
What a great trip for the Dubai World Cup! A good mixture of horse racing and general touring & site-seeing activities. The hotel and its location were spot-on, – so accessible to everything. A great bunch of people, and Donna was so friendly & accommodating our tour leader. The WC Race meeting at Meydan was exceptional – with the first-class thoroughbred racing and then culminating in a truly spectacular lighting & fireworks show. Would highly recommend. Thank you, ART, and we have already reserved our next adventure in 2025!
