Meydan’s property developments – Meydan Metropolis, Meydan Horizons, Meydan Godolphin Parks and the Meydan Racecourse – are the brainchild of UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

The Meydan Grandstand and Racecourse features world-class facilities ranging from state-of-the-art all-weather surface and turf tracks, a grandstand that can accommodate up to 60,000 people, to a five-star hotel and an IMAX theatre. Meydan will also be premiering the Meydan Grandstand Suites, which are luxury suites showcasing stunning views of the racetrack. The Suites are designed to cater for business, private and exclusive events held during the racing and off-racing seasons throughout the year. The Suites will host its first guests at the Dubai Racing International Carnival, which commences on January 28, 2010.
The Meydan stand occupies 990sq metres and is one of the biggest showpieces at the exhibition, which also features over 195 booths from 33 countries. It will provide visitors with a multi-media tour of the developer’s projects and development progess to date. The centerpiece will be the Racecourse showcase, which will feature among other things, a three-dimensional guided tour of the Meydan Grandstand, its hospitality suites and hotel.
Mr. Saeed H. Al-Tayer, Chairman of Meydan Group L.L.C, said that the company’s strong showing at Cityscape Dubai this year reiterates its commitment toward making Meydan the premier development of the UAE and the Middle East.”
“Meydan’s participation in Cityscape Dubai for the third time not only acknowledges the event’s importance to the real estate industry in the Gulf, but reaffirms our commitment towards making Meydan a vision of the future,” he said.
Mr. Al-Tayer added: “We have therefore spared no expense so that visitors at Cityscape Dubai can appreciate how Meydan is pushing the envelope to develop a city that will soon become an architectural wonder to behold and an investment opportunity that is not to be missed.

Mr. Mohammad Al Khayat, Commercial Director of Meydan Group L.L.C added, “Cityscape Dubai not only serves as a vital platform to showcase Meydan’s iconic products and progress of our developments but also serves to strengthen our relationships with investors and business partners who are integral to our success.”
