The Dubai World Cup meeting is the world’s richest day of horse racing. Total purses for the card, which will feature six Group 1 and three Group 2 fixtures, are worth USD$35 million.
Created through the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the Dubai World Cup provides a truly global stage upon which the best horses in the world come to compete every year. The race is held at Meydan Racecourse on the last Saturday in March and is the pinnacle of the UAE racing season.

Dubai, Art Dubai
March 1st – March 3rd 2024

Bali, Nyepi
March 11th 2024
Bali’s major Hindu festival, Nyepi celebrates the end of the old year and the start of the next. It’s marked by inactivity – a strategy to convince evil spirits that Bali is uninhabited so they’ll leave the island alone for another year.
For the Balinese, it’s a day for meditation and introspection. The rules are more relaxed for foreigners as long as you don’t leave your residence or hotel. Nyepi is actually a fantastic time to be in Bali – there are colourful festivals the night before, and there’s something inspiring about being forced to do nothing.
