We are thrilled to announce our return to the Middle East for another inspiring chapter of Ride For Unity’s mission: to bridge communities, cultures, and generations through the unifying power of sport.

This year’s ride brings a renewed focus on the values that sit at the heart of our organisation — diversity, inclusion, sustainability and tolerance — and our commitment to translating these principles into real-world action. As highlighted in PanTime Arabia, the team will journey across multiple cities, engaging with local schools, universities, and businesses, while opening up powerful conversations about how sport can break down barriers and foster deeper human connection.

Our Founder, Daniel Bernard, shared his excitement about the region’s warm embrace of Ride For Unity’s vision: “The Middle East has always been a vital part of our global route. The hospitality, the stories, the shared hope for a more united future — that’s what makes this ride so special.”

Each stop is carefully chosen to inspire collaboration and spark conversations around what unity really means in today’s world. Whether riding alongside local cycling clubs, meeting students eager to explore the wider impact of sport, or partnering with organisations keen to embed these values in their communities, the goal is always the same — to make meaningful connections that last long after the wheels stop turning.

We are incredibly grateful for the generous support and enthusiasm from local partners, volunteers and riders who make these journeys possible. Together, we continue to prove that sport can be far more than a physical pursuit — it’s a catalyst for understanding, empathy and positive change.
