UAE Tour 2025 Route stage 5: Dubai - Dubai
The majority of the race takes place within the city limits of Dubai, although the riders do take a detour into the desert to take on a section of the Qudra Cycle Track after roughly 45 kilometres. Following this out-and-back stretch through the Qudra Desert, the route returns to the city.
While the exact finish location has varied, Dubai hosted a stage finish every year since the UAE Tour's first edition. The list of winners includes Sam Bennett (2019, 2021), Dylan Groenewegen (2020), Mathias Vacek (2022), Sebastián Molano (2023), and Tim Merlier (2024). Three guesses as to which year the peloton miscalculated.
The first three riders across the line bag 10, 6, and 4 bonus seconds, while the intermediate sprints offer 3, 2, and 1 seconds.
