In pictures: RAK stage of UAE Tour concludes among natural spectacular landmarks
Ras Al Khaimah Stage 6 of the UAE Tour has successfully concluded with Slovenian rider Primoz Roglic of Team Jumbo – Visma crossing the finish line.
This year’s edition of the UAE Tour also featured a new amateur race where cyclists experienced the UAE’s highest mountain, Jebel Jais, for a total distance of 46 km.
The emirate’s growing cycling community enjoys a diversity of two-wheel options – from the dedicated cycle lanes on Marjan Island, to mountain biking in Jabel Jabir, Jebel Jais and Wadi Showka.
Haitham Mattar, CEO of Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority said: “RAKTDA is delighted to have hosted the 6th stage of the UAE Tour in Ras Al Khaimah, and specifically at Jebel Jais, one of the UAE’s most iconic and stunning natural landmarks. Both the professional race and the UAE Tour Challenge – named the “Jebel Jais Climb Challenge” – were exhilarating to watch as the world’s best riders and amateur participants raced up the mountain to grace the finish line. Sports and adventure tourism is key to Ras al Khaimah’s tourism development strategy, and the UAE Tour is definitely an important addition to our rich sports events portfolio.”
