Things to know before you go

  • First and foremost, dress appropriately. While you don't have to go all out, it is important to remember that horse racing is a formal event. Ladies, this means no flip-flops or shorts; instead, opt for a pretty sundress or statement skirt. And gentlemen, no jeans or sneakers—aim for chinos or tailored trousers and loafers or dress shoes.
  • Secondly, be prepared to spend some money. Tickets in Maeydan aren't cheap, and you should also budget for food and drinks while you are there. If you want to splash out, consider booking a table in one of the VIP or premium areas.
  • Finally, don't forget to enjoy yourself. Horse racing can be exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time, but it is important to remember that it is supposed to be fun. So cheer on your favourite horse, place your bets, and enjoy the atmosphere.
