In a captivating article by Khaleej Times, the “7 Days 7 Emirates Unity Ride” is presented as a transformative event that encapsulates the UAE’s core values of unity, diversity, tolerance, and sustainability. Organized by the non-profit organization Ride For Unity, this event features amateur cyclists, business leaders, and entrepreneurs cycling across the seven emirates from January 6 to 12, 2024.
As emphasized by the organizers, “It is essential for us to demonstrate how these values translate and are practically implemented in business, life and the modern day world.” The event kicks off at the 25 Hours Hotel in Dubai, with a grand opening at the Ismaili Centre Dubai, before embarking on the journey at 5 am on January 7.
The route will traverse diverse landscapes, engaging local communities and spreading the message of inclusion and sustainability. Public participation is encouraged for specific sections of the ride, inviting individuals to join a social, no-drop ride at average speeds of 25-30kph. This inclusion reflects the ride’s mission to unify people through shared sporting experiences.
