From its inauguration in 1996, the Royal vision, as set out by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice president and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, was for the Dubai World Cup to offer a stage upon which the world’s best racehorses could come together and compete for the highest rewards in the industry.
Sheikh Mohammed’s vision went far beyond on-course racing action. The Dubai World Cup swiftly evolved into a highly anticipated social occasion, bringing together UAE’s people and attracting ever-increasing numbers of overseas visitors. Twenty-two years later, the event has grown into one of the biggest sporting and social spectacles on the planet.
Now the Dubai World Cup finds even more innovative ways to tell the story of one city’s enduring love affair with horseracing. Record-breaking fireworks displays, cutting-edge fashion and awe-inspiring live shows combine to create one of the most anticipated and highly regarded events on the global entertainment calendar.
