Dubai Racing Club has brought back its Breakfast Stable Tour for the 2026 to 27 season, running every Wednesday from 28 October 2026. The new Dubai Racing Carnival season then opens at Meydan Racecourse on Friday 6 November, with tickets on sale for all 16 race meetings.
Inside the stables
The tour takes guests behind the scenes at stables a few minutes from the Meydan Grandstand, where racehorses live and train for the carnival. Stops include the horse swimming pool, the Feed Room and the Farrier’s Room, and guests may get the chance to meet a leading trainer. It ends with breakfast overlooking the training track while the horses complete their morning gallops. Tickets are AED 300 for adults and AED 175 for children, with private tours available on request.
What is new at the carnival
Three new venues, Bisou, Alba and Himitsu, join the carnival’s hospitality line-up. With The Meydan Hotel, the club is also adding a new experience at Silks Restaurant on the third floor of the Grandstand, with views of the track and the Parade Ring, a five-hour buffet, drinks and reserved seating.
The Parade Ring Lounge and the Finish Line Brunch return. The MAINE brings its brasserie and oyster bar to the three feature meetings: Festive Friday on 18 December, Fashion Friday on 22 January and Emirates Super Saturday on 27 February. In the Paddock Garden, Flip Burger and Pull Me Pizzeria join McGettigan’s, Ration’d and Little Fox by Rowley’s.
General Admission starts at AED 10, the Paddock Garden at AED 75 and hospitality packages at AED 445. Season memberships cover all 16 meetings, hosted at the Horsemen’s Lounge on level 1 with five hours of hospitality, and private suites are also available.
