A race night at King Abdulaziz Racecourse is an evening like no other. The jewel in the crown of Saudi racing, this sophisticated venue opened in 2003 and features picturesque viewing lawns, stylish lounge and restaurants, extravagant fashions and, of course, thrilling racing action. There are 50 race nights to enjoy on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays nights from October to February. The undoubted annual highlight is Saudi Cup Weekend (13 and 14 February) which is the Kingdom’s social event of the year and headlined by the World’s Richest Race. On the track, the most significant meetings outside of the season finale are Crown Prince Cups Night (5 December), Royal Cups Weekend (26 and 27 December) and Saudi Cup Trials Weekend (16 and 17 January) which is headlined by The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup and King Abdulaziz Cup. Look out too for our new Friday Night Under the Lights series, every Friday evenings from 28 November to 30 January offering free family entertainment, great prizes to be won, kids-eat-free offers and live music as well as 12 thrilling horse races from the floodlit track to enjoy. The venue can also be hired for private functions including gala dinners, conferences, exhibitions and weddings.
