Our Mission

The Home of
Epic Rides

Arabian Ultra exists for one reason: to push the boundaries of what's possible on a bicycle across the roads, mountains, and deserts of Arabia. We are a community of ultra-distance cyclists who believe that the most meaningful rides are the ones that test you completely.

Founded in 2026, we've defined over 20 ultra and everesting routes from across Arabia — united by a shared refusal to accept ordinary distances.

What We Ride

Distance is
the Point

Our rides aren't for everyone — and that's exactly the point. From 100km night rides through the desert to 500km+ Gran Fondos and full Everesting challenges, every event we organise is designed to demand something real from you.

We've collectively ridden millions of kilometres and climbed hundreds of thousands of metres. This is the accumulated effort of people who chose the hard option, every time.

The Community

Riders Who
Get It

Arabian Ultra is not a club with a membership fee and a jersey. It's a community of people who understand what it means to be out on the road at 3am, 300km in, with nothing but the road ahead. That shared understanding is what binds us.

We ride together, we support each other through the dark patches, and we celebrate every finish — because finishing an ultra is never a given.

Our Values

What We
Stand For

Push the LimitEvery ride should demand something from you. We don't do comfortable.
Earn the FinishThere are no shortcuts in ultra-distance cycling. The finish line means something because the road to it is hard.
Ride TogetherUltra cycling is a solitary pursuit, but it's better with a community behind you. We support every rider, at every pace.
Respect the RoadArabia's roads and landscapes are extraordinary. We ride with respect for the environment and the communities we pass through.
