Start | 10.55 AM Dubai International Marine Club - Mina Seyahi

This stage can be divided into two parts: the first one outside the metropolis (and partly across the desert, too), and the second one in the heart of Dubai Marina, finishing in Palm Jumeirah. The first part is raced on wide (up to 6 lanes), well-surfaced boulevards. The route then takes a brief diversion through Silicon Oasis, with a close succession of large, wide roundabouts, and the first Intermediate Sprint. The second Intermediate Sprint is located near the Camel Track, before reaching the Al-Qudra Cycletrack. In the second part, the stage course enters the city centre near Dubai Motor City; several sectors are paved with stone slabs or setts, sometimes alternating between the two. Many turns, counter-turns and short bottlenecks lead all the way up to Palm Jumeirah, where the stage course then becomes mainly straight.

This is the longest stage (205 km), marked by lengthy desert sectors rolling across the Hajar Mountains and three neighbouring Emirates: Sharjah, Ras-al-Khaimah and Fujairah. The first Intermediate Sprint is located just outside the urban centre, in Labab. Four climbs precede the exclave of Hatta. The first one is long and gradual, with a 3-4% slope, on a wide and well-surfaced road. The second Intermediate Sprint is set in Fayyad, before the two sharp climbs (with a maximum gradient of 10-11%) leading to the Kalba Road tunnel. The fourth climb is 1.5 km-long, with a gradient of about 8&, peaking 11% in the final stretch, and with a demanding descent straight afterwards. The carriageway is quite wide and the road surface is excellent. From -20 to -5 km, be aware of rough concrete-paved fords called â&#x20AC;&#x153;wadisâ&#x20AC;?. Between the city of Dubai and the mountains, the roads are wide and have an excellent surface, but take note of possible sand accumulation on the carriageway.
