The story

Tour of Oman in Multiple stages

The Tour of Oman is a multi-day professional cycling stage race held each February, typically comprising six stages covering flat, hilly, and mountain terrain across the Sultanate. Its decisive queen stage traditionally finishes on Jebel Akhdar (the Green Mountain), drawing top international UCI teams to race through Oman's varied desert and mountain landscape.

The Tour of Oman was established in the early 2010s as part of a broader push by Gulf states to host prestige international sporting events, following a similar model to races like the Tour of Qatar and the UAE's cycling events.

02

The mystery stays covered

Its queen stage finish on Jebel Akhdar, a mountain rising to roughly 2,000 metres with a demanding, sustained climb, has repeatedly decided the overall race and drawn general classification contenders who use the race as early-season form testing ahead of the European spring campaign, giving the event genuine competitive weight beyond its novelty as a Gulf cycling race
