Visit Al Shaqab for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see this purebred animal in the flesh. Al Shaqab is one of the top equestrian centers in the world. Learn about the center’s rich history. It was built on the site of an important 1893 battle, when Sheikh Jassim bin Mohammed led Bedouin tribesmen on Arabian horses against the Ottoman army in an encounter that ultimately led to Qatari independence. Constructed in the shape of a horseshoe and covering a vast area of more than 240 acres (98 hectares), Al Shaqab today has a variety of world-class facilities for horses. Features include outdoor and indoor arenas, air-conditioned breeding and show stables, spacious paddocks, a horse hospital and a fully equipped exercise center.
