Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club Tickets & Visitor Guide

Developed as part of the Arabian Ranches master community, the club opened in 2006 as a premier equestrian and polo destination in Dubai. 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 clubhouse features Spanish-style hacienda architecture overlooking world-class polo fields and riding arenas. 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: The club regularly hosts regional and international polo tournaments during the winter season.

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