If you’re planning on going around Dubai this week, then take note because the UAE cycling tour, previously known as The Dubai Tour, is well underway and will see several road closures in the city.

This major cycling spectacle started today in Abu Dhabi, and will make its way across the UAE to conclude in Dubai on March 2, so prepare to get affected by traffic diversions towards the end of the week.

The UAE tour features 20 cycling teams and some of the biggest names of the industry are taking part in this elite race.
