Meydan
The district built around Dubai's racecourse, where the Dubai World Cup, a floodlit golf course and low-rise residential streets share 40 million sq ft.
About the District
Meydan City extends across some 40 million sq ft in Nad Al Sheba, anchored by the Meydan Racecourse and its 60,000-capacity grandstand. Low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise buildings sit alongside gated villa clusters, much of it in an oriental architectural idiom, with commercial and retail space woven through. Sub-communities include District One, Azizi Riviera, The Polo Residences and Meydan Horizon, and the stock spans studios to penthouses, townhouses and standalone villas, with Meydan One Mall in delivery as the retail anchor.
Home of the Dubai World Cup
The Meydan Racecourse seats 60,000 and hosts the Dubai World Cup, with a five-star grandstand hotel, restaurants and floodlit racing beside the residences.
Eight Kilometres of Cycling Track
A dedicated cycling and jogging track runs some eight kilometres through the district, alongside Meydan Golf's floodlit course for evening play.
Ten Minutes to Downtown Dubai
Despite its low-density layout, Meydan sits around ten minutes from Downtown Dubai, twelve from Business Bay and fifteen to twenty from Dubai International Airport.
Area Overview
Meydan City is a master-planned district in Nad Al Sheba combining residential development with sport, leisure and hospitality. Its defining asset is the Meydan Racecourse, home of the Dubai World Cup, around which low-density gated communities, apartment buildings and commercial space have been built across roughly 40 million sq ft. Buyers divide between investors in the apartment stock, where Azizi Riviera in particular delivers volume at accessible pricing, and end users seeking villas and townhouses with privacy and green space close to the centre. Active developers include Meydan, Arista Properties, G&Co Properties and Gulf Land Property Developers, with branded launches such as Tonino Lamborghini Residences and Karl Lagerfeld Villas.
