The world's richest race night at Meydan.

Dubai World Cup night packs Meydan with 60,000 spectators and fills Downtown and Business Bay — the closest hotel districts to the racecourse — with a dressed-up international crowd. It's a one-night spike with a weekend-sized shoulder.

Downtown puts you ten minutes from the gates and inside the after-party circuit. If the race is your only fixture, mid-week rates either side of the weekend are dramatically softer.
