Following a wonderful 2025 Dubai World Cup for our guests from Deva Racing and the excitement of watching Deva’s Imperial Emperor run in one the richest races in the world, we are looking forward to going back in 2026. We offer an ‘Official Dubai World Cup’ Package with guaranteed race day tickets and a range of hospitality upgrades, all fully ATOL protected. Again, we hope to have Rishi Persad with us for various events throughout the tour including Welcome Drinks and the Yacht Trip.
Even more exciting, we have manged to secure a limited amount of rooms in the beautiful and iconic 5* Atlantis The Palm Hotel, probably the most renowned hotel in Dubai, sitting on the tip of The Palm with all rooms offering stunning views over the Arabic Ocean. The hotel offers 23 different restaurants and all our guests will get complimentary access to the Aquaventure Waterpark (the largest waterpark in the world) and the Aquarium along with the range of bars and beaches.
The Dubai World Cup is the highlight of Dubai’s sporting and social calendar and attracts the best horses and riders from all over the world. It is the world’s most spectacular race day with a total prize money of US $30.5 million for the showcase of nine races, including US $12 million at stake in the title contest. The race day is truly spectacular with an array of first class entertainment before, during and after the 9 fantastic races. In 2026, it is the 30th Anniversary of the event and is going to be very special indeed.
Although the race day is the pinnacle of the trip, Venatour and Deva Racing are delighted to also include in the itinerary, a simply stunning 3 Hours Yacht Cruise around The Palm inc. Drinks and Food, a Stable/Gallop Visit at Meydan Racecourse and Welcome Drinks in an Exclusive Rooftop Bar.
