Salalah, 7 September 2026 (ONA) — Swiss

The Tour of Salalah, which runs until 9 September, aims to

Sultanate of Oman’s presence on the global cycling map and furnish grounds for
organizing races accredited by the International Cycling Union or Union Cycliste Internationale
(UCI).

In particular, the event seeks to
develop the skills of Omani cyclists, discover young talents, raise the
technical level of the sport and promote health awareness.

The second stage of the Tour of Salalah
started from Al Dahariz Beach, headed to Al Mamoura Roundabout, passed by Mirbat
Fort and concluded at Wadi Darbat.

The third stage of the Tour of Salah will be held tomorrow (8 September
2026). It will extend from Taqah Fort to Jabal
Samhan mountain flank—a stretch of 156 kilometres.
