In preparation for the highly anticipated Dubai Ride 2025, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced temporary road closures across key routes in Dubai. Scheduled for Sunday, November 2, the event will see three major roads shut down from 3:30 AM to 10:30 AM to accommodate thousands of cyclists participating in the sixth edition of this city-wide fitness initiative. The affected roads include Sheikh Zayed Road between Trade Centre roundabout and Al Hadiqa Road Bridge, Lower Financial Centre Road between Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, and one-way traffic on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard. Motorists are advised to plan their journeys in advance and utilize alternative routes such as Upper Financial Centre Road, Zabeel Palace Road, Al Wasl Road, Al Khail Road, and Al Asayel Street. Dubai Ride 2025 is part of the Dubai Fitness Challenge, which runs from November 1 to November 30, offering a diverse range of free fitness activities for all ages and skill levels. Participants can choose between a family-friendly 4-km route through Downtown Dubai or a more challenging 12-km course featuring iconic landmarks like the Museum of the Future and Burj Khalifa. Advanced cyclists can also take part in the Dubai Ride Speed Laps from 5 AM to 6 AM, requiring a minimum average speed of 30 kmph. To support the event, Careem Bike is offering free single-trip rentals from 3 AM to 8 AM, with pop-up stations located at the Museum of the Future and Lower Financial Centre Street. The initiative underscores Dubai’s commitment to promoting an active and healthy lifestyle among its residents and visitors.
