The official routes for the seventh edition of the UAE Tour and the third edition of the UAE Tour Women have been unveiled. UAE Tour organisers, the Abu Dhabi Sports Council , have confirmed that the women's race will take place from 6 to 9 February, with the men's race set to take place from 17 to 23 February.

The UAE Tour and UAE Tour Women have cemented their position as premier events on the international cycling calendar, as they are the only UCI World Tour races in the Middle East.

The 2024 edition saw the triumph of Belgian Lotte Kopecky , wearing the world champion's jersey, while young Lennert Van Eetvelt took victory in the men's race.

“The UAE Tour and UAE Tour Women will once again be part of the UCI World Tour in 2025, reaffirming their status as the most prestigious races in the Middle East,” said Aref Al Awani, Secretary General of the Abu Dhabi Sports Council. “This year’s race will be particularly exciting, with greats such as UCI World Champion, Giro d’Italia and Tour de France winner Tadej Pogačar starting in the men’s race.”

Fabrizio D'Amico, Chief Operating Officer of RCS Sports and Events and UAE Tour Director added: "We are excited and ready for the seventh edition of the UAE Tour and the third edition of the UAE Tour Women, made possible once again by the leadership of the country, the Abu Dhabi Sports Council, and all our stakeholders.

The UAE Tour, both men’s and women’s, has always been a symbol of excellence and this year will be no different. We have an impressive roster of champions again this year. We are proud to support and promote the Abu Dhabi Sports Council’s ongoing efforts to strengthen the UAE’s position as a world-leading cycling destination, while also promoting the sport as a recreational and healthy activity. I look forward to welcoming all the participants and fans to this incredible event.”
