Moved to Dubai 2 years ago… some of the best road routes u will ever ride through the sand… around a cycle loop, dedicated routes for cyclists only. The sport is huge here and supported by RTA road traffic authority, and Dubai police. No need to ride in the roads… there are roads built for u to ride which are perfect. I think the loop through the sand is 170km long… with springbok and gemsbok walking around u. Stewart is South African and a great ambassador of the sport here. Spinneys has build up rides and main events also super well organised from September until Feb 2025… summer it’s hot but if u start at 04:00 u have time till 08:00 to ride… best is it is super safe, if u stop for ur coffee u can leave ur bike around the corner or in the car park and no one is going to touch it.
get out there and try I u will not be sorry
