The race:
The current AlUla Tour has its origins in the intermittently held Tour of Saudi Arabia, organized four times between 1999 and 2013.
From 2014 through 2019 the race was not run.
In 2020 the French firm ASO (Amaury Sport Organization), the organizer of such storied races like the Tour de France, Paris-Roubaix, Paris-Nice, and interestingly, the Tour of Oman, re-started the race in 2020.
The race was renamed AlUla Tour for the 2024 edition
The Tour of Oman, also on the Arabian peninsula is generally held in mid-February.
The AlUla Tour is currently a five-stage race held in early February
