Yesterday evening's rainy spell has caused surprise among UAE residents. The prestigious Dubai Tour is also affected as course changes came out for today's stage.
Originally, the fourth stage was supposed to start at Dubai International Marine Club where the Tour Village is also located. From DIMC, the stage will see cyclists going along King Salman Street to Umm Suqeim Road. It will then pass through Al Khail Road, moving towards Ras Al Khor and Aweer before headlining to Sharjah and Fujairah and concluding in Hatta. Taking to Twitter, the Dubai Tour has announced the revised route.

The rain however has forced the race to change its course. The revised course is now centred around Hatta and will conclude in Hatta Dam. RTA has tweeted out the revised route for the Dubai Tour's fourth stage which is taking place today. You can find it, and the original route below.
