The grandstand is over a mile in length, and can accommodate over 60,000 spectators. Meydan opened on 27 March 2010,[1] replacing Nad Al Sheba Racecourse, which formerly occupied the same site. It includes a horse racing museum, gallery and five-star hotel and nine-hole golf course. When not in use for racing it serves as a business and conference centre. The track's interior was also used as a filming location for the film Star Trek Beyond depicting the docking bay where the U.S.S. Enterprise is moored including the bar scene during the film's climax which contains a ship construction bay.
