The 2024 Women's WorldTour makes its third stop in the Middle East for the second edition of the UAE Tour, a four-stage race that features Jebel Hafeet as its main defining moment.
Last year the climb decided the winner when Elisa Longo Borghini won the stage alongside Trek teammate Gaia Realini while the other three stages were a duel between sprinters Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx) and Charlotte Kool (Team DSM).
Stage 1: Dubai Miracle Garden-Dubai Harbour, 122km
Stage 2: Al Mirfa Bab Al Nojoum-Madinat Zayed, 113km
Stage 3: Al Ain Police Museum-Jebel Hafeet, 128km
Stage 4: Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum-Abu Dhabi Breakwater, 105km
