Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club Tickets & Visitor Guide

The Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club is a product of 2006, the idea of a polo patron who saw the future and thus has turned into a cultural and sports area in the Arabian Ranches surrounding area. The club that occupies 68 acres of beautifully landscaped land is a place where the past meets the present most wonderfully, resulting in a quiet lifestyle and social area for the equestrians and their patrons. 

The imagery of the club’s design is that of a classic Spanish-style hacienda with the best polo fields, show jumping arenas, and dressage rings. The overall club has the capacity to accommodate more than 336 horses in its stables, has a professional Riding School, and boasts an all-encompassing Polo Academy that caters to every level of rider skill from beginner to expert. In addition, the Club has a full range of wellness amenities with a spa, pool, and fitness facilities, among others.

Fun Fact: By hosting such renowned tournaments as the UAE Nations Cup and the Cartier International Polo Challenge, the grounds have become a major equestrian sport centre in the region.

Seasonal Tip: The cooler months (October–April) are the best time to visit, when one can enjoy outdoor polo events and horse riding sessions
