Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel, to once again host the third stage of the world’s premier Arabian horse series.
The Global Champions Arabians Tour (GCAT) continues its thrilling journey as it arrives at the breathtaking Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel, in Muscat, Oman, for the third stage of its highly anticipated 2025 season. Building on the success of last year’s event, this edition promises an unforgettable celebration of Arabian horse beauty and cultural heritage.
Set against the stunning backdrop of the Hajar mountains and the Omani coastline, the Muscat stage showcases the elegance and grace of Arabian horses. Competitors will vie for championship titles and crucial points in the overall Tour rankings, with an event prize fund of over €1,000,000, and an annual total exceeding €24 million.
Taking place on 6-8 March, the event will feature the world’s finest Arabian horses judged on five key criteria – type, head and neck, body, legs, and movement – by an esteemed international panel. This rigorous evaluation ensures the highest standards of competition, underpinned by the core value of integrity.
Mr. Faleh Al-Nasr, Chairman of GCAT, commented: “Returning to Muscat marks a special moment in our second season as we continue to celebrate the majesty and cultural significance of the Arabian horse. Oman’s rich heritage and scenic beauty provide the perfect backdrop for this event, fostering cultural exchange and showcasing the elegance of Arabian horses to the world.”
The Muscat stage follows two successful events in Ajman and Doha and stands as the third of eight stages in this year’s Europe and Middle East series.
In addition to the captivating displays of equine beauty, visitors can immerse themselves in the vibrant Cultural Village located within the grounds of Al Bustan Palace. This unique space celebrates Omani heritage through traditional crafts, interactive exhibits, and cultural performances, offering an enriching experience for all attendees.
The event runs on 6-8 March and will be open to the public with free admission, while exclusive hospitality packages are available upon request.
