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, close proximity to the thrilling racing action. There are 62 race nights to enjoy on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays nights from October to March. The undoubted annual highlight is Saudi Cup Weekend (21 and 22 February) which is the Kingdom’s social event of the year and headlined by the World’s Richest Race. Look out too for live music, cultural celebrations and free family entertainment at our Major Cup race nights, Crown Prince Cups Night (16 December), Royal Cup Night (04 January) and Custodians of the Two Holy Mosque Race Night (25 January). The venue can also be hired for private functions including gala dinners, conferences, exhibitions and weddings.
