Global Champions Arabians Tour Brings Equestrian Elegance To Miami Beach

If there’s one city that knows how to put on a show, it’s Miami. From ultra-luxe parties in South Beach to art-drenched opulence in the Design District, this is a place where spectacle is a way of life. And now, for the first time, Miami’s signature extravagance is colliding with the world’s most majestic breed of horse.

On April 17-19, 2025, the Global Champions Arabians Tour (GCAT) presented by Qatar Airways, will transform the sands of Miami Beach into an arena of power, beauty, and prestige. This isn’t just an equestrian event—it’s a statement and experience. GCAT is a display of grace, athleticism, and unfiltered luxury where the world’s top Arabian horses will compete under the Miami sun, while the city’s elite and travelers worldwide sip champagne and soak it all in.

For Faleh Al Nasr, Chairman of GCAT, bringing the world’s most prestigious Arabian horse championship to Miami Beach was a no-brainer. “Hosting events in iconic destinations is at the heart of what we do. Miami, with its unmistakable blend of luxury and style, offers an unparalleled backdrop for the Global Champions Arabians Tour,” he says.

Miami isn’t just a postcard-perfect location—it’s a gateway. With direct flights from the Middle East and its proximity to South America, it’s a city built for an international stage, making it the perfect place for the world’s top breeders, competitors, and equestrian enthusiasts to converge. But the horses? They’re only part of the story. You don’t throw an event in Miami without infusing it with the city’s soul—and GCAT is doing just that.

“Miami’s culture will be reflected throughout the entirety of the event, from the bold Art Deco-inspired design to the vibrant color palette,” says Al Nasr.

That means VIP hospitality on another level, curated by Major Food Group—the team behind Miami’s most coveted dining spots like Carbone, ZZ’s, and Sadelle’s. Imagine watching Arabian champions glide across the sand while indulging in a plate of Carbone’s legendary spicy rigatoni or sushi from ZZ’s.

“Guests will enjoy a curated VIP hospitality experience featuring culinary offerings from celebrated Miami hotspots,”says Al Nasr. Translation? Every bite, every sip, every moment is designed to feel like a celebration.

And it doesn’t stop there. The event’s interactive village will be a sensory overload of Miami flavor—from local artisans and designers to pop-up tastings of the city’s boldest, most indulgent flavors.

Arabian horses are living legends. With their elegant silhouettes, hypnotic movement, and centuries-old heritage, they represent a level of grace and power that’s rarely seen outside of royal stables and elite competitions. But in the U.S., Arabian horse events remain a hidden gem—something GCAT is determined to change.

“With the Global Champions Arabians Tour, our mission is to celebrate and elevate Arabian horses on a global stage. Through this event, we aim to honor the legacy of the breed while introducing it to new audiences,” says Al Nasr.

Because once you see an Arabian horse in motion, you understand.

Whether you’re an equestrian aficionado or just someone who appreciates the finer things in life, GCAT Miami Beach is the event you never knew you needed. A weekend where horsepower meets haute couture, where centuries-old tradition gets a splash of Miami heat, and where the only rule is: make it unforgettable.
