Palm Jumeirah, Madinat Jumeirah and Al Sufouh roads will be closed from 11am-3.55pm on Wednesday.
The race will then head to Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah to complete stages five and six, before it returns to Dubai for its decisive stage seven, which will see cyclists starting off from Dubai Safari Park and traveling via Academic City through Dubai Design District and into Mushrif Park. The event will then continue to Mamzar Beach and conclude at Citywalk.
Road closures at the race route will start at 12.25pm and roads will be back into operation at 3.55pm.
