Dubai has a tendency to impress. From the invention of the 7-star super-luxury hotel, to constructing the tallest free-standing tower in the world, to the largest aquarium on Earth to reclaiming palm-shaped islands in the sea, Dubai’s meteoric rise to global stardom has been a result of their voracious appetite for super-development and has been touted around the world more times than one.
The Dubai Sports City is a 50-million square foot development centred on 4 stadiums, the largest of which seats 60,000 spectators and is a multi-purpose outdoor stadium capable of hosting any sports event, be it rugby, football, or track and field athletics competitions.
This amazing place comes complete with all the amenities expected of any locality of international repute. From malls to luxury apartments, internationals schools to hospitals, living in this ‘city’ is living in a grand way indeed.
The second largest stadium is noteworthy as being home to the ICC Cricket Academy and as being one of the most technologically advanced cricket venues on the planet. The 25,000 seat stadium has already hosted many international matches and was built according to the ICC’s exacting specifications for such an international cricket venue.
Not a fan of cricket? Perhaps golf is your sport of choice, in which case the Els Club would definitely be worth a look. It is a first for the Middle East as being the only golf course in the region designed by veteran course designer Ernie Els. 18 holes of amazing golf await visitors on this beautiful 72-par course.

While taking in the sights that the Dubai Sports City has to offer, perhaps one of the nicest places to call home would be one of the best Dubai luxury hotels, the Millennium Plaza Hotel Dubai. As one of the best 5 star hotels Dubai has to offer, the Millennium Plaza offers its guests the best in services and amenities over and above what most would consider comfortable and well into the realm of true luxury.
