Roads will be reopened once the cyclists pass through a section of the 165km Dubai Stage.

The rolling road closure system will be implemented from 12 noon. The Dubai Stage is scheduled to be flagged off from Deira Islands at 12.35pm and expected to finish at Palm Jumeirah around 4.30pm.

It will take the cyclists on a tour of Dubai’s historically and culturally-rich older districts as well as its swanky new urban centres, and past some of the world’s most iconic landmarks.

Closures:

>> Al Khaleej Street in Deira will be partially closed from 12.30pm to 12.55pm.

>> Sections of Al Asayel Street, Qarn Al Sabkha Road, Al Khail 1, Hessa Street and Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street will be closed between 2pm and 2.40pm.

>> The segment through Al Qudra Road and Saih Al Salaam Street will be partially closed from 2.35pm to 3.55pm.

>> As the cyclists turn back on Al Qudra Road and head towards Umm Suqeim through Hessa Street, that segment is expected to be partially closed between 3.50pm and 4.20pm.
