Ahead of the third stage of the UAE Tour 2026, several roads between Umm Al Quwain and Ras Al Khaimah will be closed today, 18 February, from noon onwards.
The 183 kilometre race is divided into two distinct parts. The first one approaches the final mountain by undulating through the desert, while the last one features approximately 20 kilometres of continuous climbing all the way to the finish.
The race will begin at Umm Al Quwain's National Museum, leading to closures at interchanges between E55, E11, E311, E611, and E87.
The route also extends to exits in Ras Al Khaimah, causing certain closures on Sheikh Salem bin Sultan Street and Al Jarrafat Street.
The third stage will be completed at Jebel Mobrah in Ras Al Khaimah at around 3.45pm, where cyclists will climb the final 20 kilometre to the finish.
