Al Kaheel - The ultimate equine experience

Set to provide the ultimate equine experience, Al Kaheel is a 1.6 billion Dirham Project offering 400 residences built beautifully preserved desert landscape surrounding Dubailand's Eco Zone. Al Kaheel, at once a horse lover's paradise and a place where the uninitiated can discover, interact and connect with horses.

Al Kaheel will showcase the unique relationship between man and horse and deliver the ultimate equine experience to residents and guests, novice and seasoned equestrian alike.

Nestled in the heart of the desert in Dubai, Al Kaheel will include:

• A full service luxury resort for horse lovers, fine dining, shops and all the services a luxurious five star resort would offer.
• Furnished desert chalets available for timeshare.
• Luxury desert homes - a rare opportunity to own or rent a home in an open and natural surrounding with its own community centre and sports facilities.
• Equine Training, livery and breeding barns, a state-of-the art equine therapy spa, all purpose arenas, paddocks, riding trails, and all the other support and programmatic amenities one would expect at one of the world's great equine facilities.

The Park itself is a complex like no other, a stunning melange of equine- centric attractions and experiences derived from the worlds of leisure, education and entertainment:

• Every evening the "jewel" of Al Kaheel, the colorful and exciting equine extravaganza, "Fly without Wings" will be held. This custom theatre of unsurpassed sophistication, will host this grand-scale spectacle featuring a superlative international cast of riders and dancers, acrobats and aerialists, entertainers and world class equine athletes with over 45 performers and over 70 magnificent horses.

• The "Stable of the Stars" draws back the curtain and invites guests to come behind-the-scenes for a close encounter with the performers and their horses as they rehearse, recoup, train and fine-tune.

• "Meet the Horse" will be a first-of-its-kind, user-friendly, body-on experience that introduces the inexperienced or "greenhorn" horse enthusiast to a safe and welcoming orientation to the equestrian world, from first touch through first ride.

• The "Museum and Theatre of the Horse" explores the breadth and diversity of the species and recounts the historic impact of the horse in human culture. A remarkable agglomeration of the artifacts, archives and interactive exhibits, the Museum also houses the Park's virtual reality experience.

• Visit old town Al Kaheel and ride back in time when horse were mans most trusted companions. The streets of "Old Town" play host to a trick riding and stunt show that's the wildest thing this side of the Atlantic. Blacksmithing and saddle making. Pony rides and shooting galleries and along the way, the serious horseman or woman can immerse themselves in the Natural Horsemanship and Draft Horse Barn for hands-on activities and demonstrations.

• Guests looking for an encyclopedic sampler of the incredible variety of horse types, capabilities and accomplishments will find more than they ever imagined in the "Breeds of the World" barn, or at the park's "Palace of Champions" which houses an elite group of prize winning horses. Demonstrations and performances will take place throughout the day in the adjacent covered show arena.

• Indoor, climate-controlled arenas will be used year round for international events and competitions, trade fairs and horse shows. And every week, they will host the Weekend Fair a "renaissance fair-styled horse festival" that offers an opportunity for any and everyone to enjoy an up-close experience with the horse.

The color, sound and excitement of the show ring, parades of breeds and champions, The Natural Horsemanship Academy, mare and foal shows, horse-drawn carriage tours, night ride and desert trekking will make Al Kaheel the ultimate equine experience.

Al Kaheel will also offer special events and group outings for celebrations and parties, a huge selection of equine related merchandise presented in a traditional souk ambiance and theme-based fine foods and refreshments.

All this and the behind-the-scenes sights and sounds of a working horse farm, and above all the horses themselves, many of them, in all imaginable colors and forms, delighting the eye and inspiring the imagination around every turn.

Al Kaheel is a distinctively different resort that all the family will appreciate and enjoy, thus ensuring that Dubai becomes the destination of choice for the international horse enthusiast.
