Dubai: Rhythm and Races

        Since 1996, Dubai has held one of the worlds premiere events for horse racing, The Dubai World Cup. Annually, the best thoroughbred horses from around the world are assembled for a night of racing. With a purse of US $10 million, The Dubai World Cup has become the worlds richest horse race. It is a flat race on a synthetic dirt surface allowing Northern Hemisphere Thoroughbred four-year-olds & up and for Southern Hemisphere Thoroughbred three-year-olds & up run over a distance of 2,000 meters.

         Neither the beautiful scenery, world class competition, or even the large purse can captivate everyones attention. One of the main events of Dubai World Cup 2010 isn't even the horses! March 27th, 2010, is a once in a lifetime chance to see two of arguably the greatest musicians of all time playing together on the same stage. Yes ladies and gentlemen, two of the greatest. 

         To celebrate the Dubai World Cup, event planners have invited Elton John and Carlos Santana to perform, which just adds to the prestige and excitement surrounding the Dubai World Cup. 

Anything is possible.

Abu Dhabi Ascends the Skies

       From artists to athletes, people from all professions and countries have been flocking to the United Arab Emirates for their over the top events. After hosting their first Grand Prix, first yacht show, art show, and even first wake boarding event, Abu Dhabi has set their eyes on something a little higher. 

       The wings of Red Bull have taken Abu Dhabi to the sky. The new sport of air racing is an international competition which is based on speed and precision. The top pilots from around the world assemble in different places to hurl themselves through constantly changing courses. A slight drop in temperature or small shift in wind can be very costly. 

       The 2010 Red Bull Air Race World Championship Season will begin March 26th-27th 2010 over the beautiful and always scenic Abu Dhabi Intercoastal. First flight of the season will take place in the scorching heat of this afternoon. 

Racing planes? Anything is possible.
