*A number of airlines now operate direct flights to AlUla, including Qatar Airways, flydubai and Saudia, from hubs including Paris, Dubai, Riyadh, Jeddah and Cairo. We are happy to assist with recommending options.

Today participants kick off the day with an early ride along the picturesque Ashar Valley Loop. The program continues with exclusive VIP access, allowing participants to grab signatures and photos with the pro riders. Participants receive their “race gift pack” from the team containing team cap, bidon and musette. Everyone will have the chance to then be at the VIP Finish Area experience of the AlUla Tour, where participants witness the climax of the race, the awards ceremony, and capture memorable photos.

A celebratory dinner serves as the official welcome for both guests and riders, on this shared adventure. The night ends with the tales of the day, as participants retire to the comfort of Shaden Hotel.
