The AlUla Tour heads into its fourth edition in 2024 with a rebranding from the Saudi Tour. The early season race draws a cluster of WorldTour teams to the desert for a mix of sprint and hilly stages each year.

Ruben Guerreiro (Movistar) and Maxim Van Gils (Lotto-Dstny) have won the past two editions of the 2.1 stage race run by Tour de France organisers ASO. The 2024 edition sees nine WorldTour teams take the start, including Soudal-QuickStep, UAE Team Emirates, Movistar, Bahrain Victorious, and Jayco-AlUla.

Casper van Uden (DSM-Firmenich PostNL) scored his first career victory on the opening stage this year, while Søren Wærenskjold (Uno-X Mobility) sprinted to victory on the stage 2 uphill finish to take over the race lead.

Tim Merlier (Soudal-QuickStep) took an emphatic sprint victory on stage 3 as echelons split the race apart, with Van Uden retaking the overall lead.
