Bringing the emotional 25th running of the Dubai World Cup to a close, HQWS produced a heartfelt tribute to the late Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who, as an avid lover of horses and a pioneer in the world of horseracing and breeding, left an indelible mark on everyone involved with the equine sport. 

 

Narrating the tribute, a touching film was set to specially composed music and a beautiful poem penned by His Highness’ Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid describing the bond he shared with his brother. 

​

Providing a fitting and elegant accompanying spectacle, the night sky was illuminated by a synchronised Guiness World Record breaking laser installation, show lighting effects and a fleet of over 800 autonomous drones, including specially adapted pyro models. 

 

The show was devised and programmed within 72 hours.
