“The Supreme Organising Committee has now finalised the dates of the race and has put together all plans to portray both the country’s natural beauty of the desert, mountains and its modern cities, and iconic structures and places,” said Hareb.

“In the coming months we will unveil more details of the UAE Tour, including the logo, the race stages, the sponsors.,” he added.
