Nad Al Sheba (Arabic: ند الشبا) is a locality in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Situated south of the Dubai Creek, Nad Al Sheba is best known for its racecourse, the Nad Al Sheba Racecourse, which hosted the Dubai World Cup annually until 2009[citation needed]

Nad Al Sheba comprises four sub-communities:[citation needed]
