Spent a lot of money on Premium seats #3. Avoid this area if you want to see the race. We had 2nd row seats, which meant that someone was standing in front of us continually. Fortunately, we were able to walk around on the apron to get a better view. The bathrooms were out of order for the first 3... More

Today we were invited for THE race. No need to highlight the venue. The best Dubai has to offer its people. Great views, fabulous track, unfortunately a horse broke its leg, Sheikh Mohammed was there, great fire works, sky diving, a stunt plane, name it. But how on earth do they dare to serve this food???? They should be ashamed!... More

The grandstand and facilities at Meydan are miles ahead of any other racecourse in the world. Around £27 will get you a gold badge which gives you access to the trendy glass fronted paddock lounge and your own seat (very comfortable) in the grandstand. The beer is expensive but having waiter service and not having throwing elbows at the bar... More

We went to the Tiered Restaurant at Meydan for Super Saturday. This race meeting is a few weeks before the World Cup and includes some the horses running in the World Cup plus all the top jockeys including F. Dettori. The racecourse and grandstand are perfect. Almost looks unreal. Tiered Restaurant is an amazing experience. Superb seats and service. What... More

I took my daughter and her husband to Meydan in March. I determined not to stint, so pre-booked tickets for the Terrace Restaurant. What a night out, even if you are not a racing fan! A 7 course dinner - all small portions so not bloating, but all delicious. Drinks included (less champagne), a waiter devoted to our table, which... More

I had a great night out at the horse racing. The Meydan racecourse grandstand is simply amazing. It is about half a mile long with fantastic facilities and views over the course. I sat in the Premium Seating (approx £10) and you get a great view with refreshements served at your seat if you wish. A pint of beer was... More

Went to Meydan for the Super Thursday meeting 2011 and had pre booked the tiered restaurant package for myself and my wife as part of our 25th wedding anniversary trip, paid about £160 each for 5 course meal with house wine included. The view from our table was outstanding, right over the paddock/unsaddling area with the winning post just to... More
