Emirates offers special packages for Dubai World Cup

Emirates, the Official Airline of the Dubai World Cup, is promoting this racing event with some exceptional value-for-money packages.

With prices starting from as little as US$277 on a per person twin sharing basis, international customers have a choice of three first rate package deals - International Village, Millennium Terrace Hospitality and Al Dana Marquee Hospitality. These packages include a range of hotels and hospitality features to suit all pockets.

Ghaith Al Ghaith, Executive Vice President Commercial Operations Worldwide, said: “The Dubai World Cup is a world-class event, attracting international race enthusiasts. Emirates is not only sponsoring the Dubai World Cup, the world’s richest horse race, but hopes to further enhance the appeal of the event by offering packages tailored for every budget. As the airline spreads its wings globally, we are confident that it will help Dubai boost its ranking among the world’s best cities for business and leisure.”

All three packages offer meet-&-assist at the Dubai International Airport, transfers that include airport-hotel-airport and to the event, and three nights accommodation on bed and breakfast basis in a select number of hotels. They also include admission to the International Village and public enclosures.

The Millennium Terrace package also includes complimentary official magazines and racecards on arrival, closed circuit television monitors, extensive menu inclusive of afternoon tea, a three-course buffet dinner and beverages.

The Al Dana Marquee Hospitality package includes entrance badge, pass and badge wallet, reserved seating in the marquee, complimentary official magazines and racecards on arrival, race coverage relayed on giant screen, live entertainment programme, and access to all areas of the International Village and public enclosure. Afternoon tea, complimentary beverages and lavish dinner buffet are also part of the deal.

These packages are available to all Emirates passengers, regardless of class of travel.

As the names suggest, each package provides admission to specific areas of hospitality at the event. The International Village is at the core of the social scene at the Dubai World Cup with access limited to ticket holders. It incorporates a large garden area, multitude of food and beverage outlets, exhibition stands, live entertainment and giant-screen race coverage. Open between 1400-0000 hours, The International Village will feature the popular Fashions on the Field event, co-sponsored by Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa, culminating with post racing live entertainment.

The Millennium Terrace will feature reserved grandstand seats, licensed beverage outlets for cash sales and casual dining areas on the open concourse overlooking the track. 

Located in the heart of the International Village within a few metres of the trackside and with private temporary grandstand seating overlooking the racecourse, the Al Dana Marquee is a perfect place to entertain racing enthusiasts.
