The city of sand dunes and sparkling skyscrapers will host SailGP for the first time, to deliver an adrenaline-packed weekend at the Dubai Sail Grand Prix presented by P&O Marinas, on 12 & 13 November.

Dubai is famous for its amazing buildings, including the beautiful Museum of the Future and the Burj Khalifa (at 830-metres the world’s tallest building), and vast shopping malls that are home to huge aquariums and indoor ski slopes, all happily sitting beside a rich history and culture.

This includes the traditional Souks, including the Spice and Gold Souks lining the Dubai Creek, which itself is home to traditional fishing Dhows and offers direct access to the beautiful, warm, blue waters of the Arabian Gulf.

Here, fans in Dubai will experience the incredible excitement of the foiling F50 catamarans for the first time.
