dubai is known for breaking world records. one of them is hosting the dubai world cup, world’s richest horse race day. to match its grandeur, jumeirah installed their latest hotel development – the meydan. it became the world’s first 5-star trackside hotel with 285 rooms, 2 race tracks and the grandstand, which comprises a hotel, restaurants, a racing museum and 72 corporate suites for entertaining throughout the year.
our company was invited to get a glimpse of the hotel and for a brunch treat. from afar, i can see two horn-like structures in the middle. unfortunately, i was late for the meeting and did not get a chance to shoot from a distance. instead, i snapped away within the perimeter.

Is this the one in Nad Al Sheba? I saw this under construction last year, when I was headed to Japat’s exhibit at Tasjeel. Love the Architecture of this building, even at that time when it is still under construction I can already visualize the finish product.
Jeff,
you captured well the beauty of the architecture. the wave-like lines of the building facade is fluid. great shots.
