This year, the total prize money is US$30.5 million, with US$12 million going to the winner of the main race. Horses and riders from around the world will compete in nine exciting races.

But the Dubai World Cup is not just about racing–it’s  also a fun social event where people can dress up, enjoy music, food, and entertainment throughout the day.

Visitors can buy general admission tickets for AED 20, which allow entry to the outdoor seats and food court. For AED 350, guests can join Apron Views, a social village with food, drinks, and even a fashion contest.

For those who want a more luxurious experience, there are many food and drink packages. Prices range from AED 849 for a fun brunch to AED 3,000 for a first-class lounge experience with great views of the track. 

VIP guests can book special seats at the Winner’s Circle Restaurant or the private Royal Enclosure. These spots offer fine dining and top service, starting at AED 3,800 per person.

Private suites are also available for groups who want a more personal and intimate experience. These start at AED 4,900 per person and include a large buffet and drinks.

And the fun begins even before race day! On Thursday, April 3, fans can watch the horses during morning training at the Dubai World Cup Morning Gallop. Prices for adults start at AED 360 and prices for kids (up to the age of 12) start at AED 220. 

All tickets are available at the Dubai Racing Club website.
