Equipped with first-class hospitality offerings and state-of-the-art racing facilities, the Meydan racecourse is unlike any other in the world. Its most outstanding feature is the Grandstand, an architectural feat featuring a crescent-shaped roof clad with solar panels. The Grandstand spans 1.5km and can accommodate up to 60,000 guests.
