The UAE Tour is a road cycling stage race held annually in the United Arab Emirates. The men's event was established in 2019 as part of the UCI World Tour. It was formed through the merger of the Abu Dhabi Tour and the Dubai Tour. The inaugural edition took place from February 24 to March 2, 2019. The race is owned by the Abu Dhabi Sports Council and organized by RCS Sport, who also organize the Giro d'Italia.
The UAE Tour typically features a combination of flat sprint stages and mountain stages, often utilizing climbs such as Jebel Jais and Jebel Hafeet. Stages in the open desert are often affected by crosswinds. A time trial is also usually included in the route. The Jebel Jais climb is often considered the queen stage of the race, featuring a 20-kilometer climb. In 2023, a women's race was introduced as part of the UCI Women's World Tour. During the 2025 edition, Stage 2 of the women's race had an average speed of 48.407 kilometers per hour, making it the fastest ever UCI Women's World Tour stage.
