Desert Opulence: The Dubai World Cup
Published on March 30, 2025
The world's richest horse race lived up to expectations. A night of fashion and fillies at Meydan.
The Dubai World Cup is more than a race; it is a global gathering of the equestrian elite. This year, Meydan Racecourse glittered under the lights as $30 million in prize money was contested.
The Suite Life
66 Elite hosted a private suite in the Royal Enclosure, offering panoramic views of the finish line. The catering was a fusion of Arabic and European gastronomy, served by white-gloved butlers. It is the only way to watch the race, away from the heat and the crowds.
The Fashion
The Jaguar Style Stakes is as competitive as the racing. Our clients were prepared, with several ladies wearing bespoke millinery commissioned from Philip Treacy in London specifically for the event.
Where to Stay
Atlantis The Royal: The new icon of Dubai. The Royal Mansion penthouse is the most exclusive room in the city. We arranged for a private transfer from the hotel's helipad directly to the racecourse.
After Party
White Dubai is the traditional end to the night, but this year we arranged a private yacht party in the Dubai Marina for those who wanted a more intimate celebration. Cruising past the illuminated skyline was the perfect end to the evening.
