One of the main events in Dubai horse racing is the Dubai World Cup. This year will be the eighth World Cup, held at Nad Al Sheba racetrack on 29th March 2003. The Dubai horse racing track is located only 10 minutes from the centre of Dubai and has both a dirt track and turf track.
 

The Dubai horse racing track at Nad Al Sheba has both a dirt track and a turf track. The dirt track has three chutes, a 2,000 metre (1 1/4 mile), a 1,600 metre (1 mile) and a 1,200 metre (3/4 mile) chute. The 2,000 metre chute will be used in the Dubai World Cup. The track is well maintained and has the latest equipment fitted to guard against the possibility of rain.

The turf track is 2,200 metre (1 3/8 mile) laid with United States grass. During the winter, rye is planted to add cushion and colour.

There is a designated car park for coaches and plenty of parking for visitors. A taxi service will also be operational.

Grandstand seating is available for public viewing and you can reserve seats for level 2 of the Millennium Grandstand for Dhs 350 each. Plus, there will be over 100 monitors positioned around the track to enable everyone to watch the action.

For food and entertainment, visit the International Village, with ticket access only. Tickets are Dhs 150 each. The International Village opens from 2pm onwards and there will be a live band playing until midnight.
