Dubai World Cup Tour 2027
Flights available from UK and Ireland. Talk to us at time of booking for flight options.
Dubai, UAE
Tuesday 23rd March – Sunday 28th March 2027
Dubai is always one of our favourites and we are already looking ahead to 2027, with plans already underway for what promises to be another standout trip. With our Racing Ambassador Rishi Persad expected to join us once again, it is set to be a brilliant week both on and off the racecourse.
The Dubai World Cup is the highlight of the city’s sporting and social calendar, attracting the very best horses, jockeys and trainers from across the globe. With over $30 million in prize money and a spectacular race day experience, it remains one of the most prestigious events in world racing.
While race day is the centrepiece, the trip offers much more. Previous tours have included a yacht cruise around The Palm, behind the scenes stable and gallops visits, and exclusive evenings in some of Dubai’s most impressive venues, giving a real insight into racing in the region.
Dubai itself needs little introduction. From the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall to its beaches, restaurants and vibrant nightlife, there is plenty to enjoy across the week alongside the racing.
Our 2027 packages include a carefully selected range of five star hotels, official race day tickets with hospitality upgrades available, and a full programme of experiences hosted by our team.
