The opening of Meydan Racecourse in 2010 will be a defining moment in the sport's global history.

Unparalleled levels of luxury, customer comfort and racing technology will combine to create the ultimate horseracing experience.

And when the 60,000 capacity crowd have finished cheering on the world's finest thoroughbreds there's a 5 star hotel, international restaurants and an IMAX cinema to capture the imagination.

In 2010 it will become the new home of the Dubai World Cup, and as such, the new global home for elite horseracing.

It will attract the best thoroughbreds, owners and racing nobility from around the world.

A celebration of canal-front living, Godolphin Parks has been designed and created for those who enjoy relaxing and living by water but who want to remain connected to the vital and essential pulse of city life.

Approached from its eastern side, the district is framed by the majestic Godolphin Gateway Tower, a 40 storey iconic building created in the image of a thoroughbred's head.

 Travel further into the city centre and you'll find the impressive Signature Mall – a high class shopping environment which spreads along one kilometre of the Godolphin riverfront. It's along this stretch that you'll also find a high quality residential development arranged on rows of piers, each one steadily encroaching into the water.

Godolphin Parks is set to become not just a desirable place to live and work, but a shining example of ecological sensitivity and sustainability.
