Dubai Racing Carnival returns with new hospitality options

Tickets are now on sale for the 2026-27 Dubai Racing Carnival, which returns to Meydan Racecourse on November 6 with new ways to spend a day at the races.

General admission starts at Dhs10, while Paddock Garden tickets cost Dhs75 and hospitality packages begin at Dhs345. The carnival will run through Dubai’s winter season, bringing international racing, dining, entertainment and hospitality together from November through March.

This season introduces three new venues, Bisou, Alba and Himitsu, to Meydan’s hospitality portfolio. Dubai Racing Club has also teamed up with The Meydan Hotel on a new experience at Silks Restaurant. The third-floor venue overlooks both the racetrack and Parade Ring, and includes a five-hour gourmet buffet, premium beverages and reserved seating for families, friends and corporate groups.

Popular experiences will return, including the Parade Ring Lounge and Finish Line Brunch. Memberships at the Horsemen’s Lounge will cover all 16 race meetings and include premium viewing, five hours of hospitality and exclusive race-day benefits. Private suites will also be available for corporate events, celebrations and client entertaining.

Behind-the-scenes stable tours will resume in October, allowing racing fans to visit the stables and meet the horses before the opening meeting. Ali Al Ali, CEO and board member of Dubai Racing Club, said the club was introducing new hospitality experiences while continuing to develop the attractions that regular guests know and enjoy.
