Introducing
A district built around the Dubai World Cup.
Meydan is a master-planned district in the heart of Dubai, built around the Meydan Racecourse, home of the Dubai World Cup. Framed by Al Khail Road, Ras Al Khor Road and Dubai–Al Ain Road, it takes in some of the city's most active new communities, among them Sobha Hartland, District One and Meydan Horizon. It is freehold for buyers of every nationality and 15 to 20 minutes' drive from Downtown Dubai, and its low-rise, green streets have made it one of Dubai's busiest new-home markets.

Life in Meydan
Meydan Racecourse can host up to 60,000 spectators. Each spring it stages the Dubai World Cup, a race night that carried a total purse of US$30.5 million in 2026 and puts the district in front of a global audience.
Downtown Dubai, Business Bay and DIFC are 15 to 20 minutes by car and Dubai International Airport under half an hour, yet home stays low-rise, green and quiet.
The Track, Meydan Golf is a nine-hole, Peter Harradine-designed course beside the racecourse. It is floodlit until 11pm, and water comes into play on every hole.
Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, a Ramsar-listed wetland on Meydan's north-eastern edge, is where greater flamingos gather each winter, minutes from the city's tallest towers.

Prices and rents by home type
Medians for 2026. Gross yield compares the median rent with the median price of ready homes of the same type. Most rent contracts don't state bedrooms, so rents are grouped by floor area, using the size ranges that match each type in the sales data.
