Marmoom Stables, Dubai

Horses in residence here are mainly prepared for the Dubai World Cup Carnival, which takes place at Meydan Racecourse between January and March each year.

Located in the desert to the south of the city, the area has a rich history as a centre of equine excellence with a number of other thoroughbred training establishments located nearby.

The facilities at Marmoom Stables include several American barns, a nine-furlong private dirt track, a grass gallop and two trotting rings alongside two equine spas and a water treadmill.
