Dubai World Cup VIP Tour 2007

Nad Al Sheba Racecourse, Dubai, UAE March 31st 2007

VIP Package

6 Nights - Arrive Tues 27th March - Return Mon 2nd April

*** Early Booking is Essential for this package ***

Forget the Grand National, the Kentucky Derby and even the Arc de Triomphe, when it comes to money the Dubai World Cup is quite simply the richest horse race in the world. The mile-and-a-quarter group-one race, for four year olds and above, offers an incredible US$6 million prize fund with US$3.6 million going to the winner. It is no surprise that the best horses, jockeys and trainers make the annual trip to the UAE.

Thoroughbred racing traces its roots back to the Middle East and its homecoming could not be grander. The magnificent Nad Al Sheba Racecourse boasts state-of-art facilities, including television monitors in all areas to ensure you miss none of the action. A visit to the track is a must for any race fan. Not only is the race of the highest calibre, but the floodlit sand and dirt track is superb.

Dubai is regarded as the "Pearl of the Arabian Gulf". The city finds the perfect blend between the past and the present. The atmospheric old town, with its markets and alleyways, is contrasted with the ultra modern and cosmopolitan new town. The new town provides perhaps the biggest attraction away from the track: some of the best shopping on the planet. Turftours have excellent official Dubai Racing Club Hospitality at the Course which gives you the perfect opportunity to watch the World's Richest Race and take a few days to relax in the Sun.
