Sharjah24: His Excellency Khalid Jasim Al Midfa, Chairman of the Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority (SCTDA), confirmed that the 1000 Miglia UAE race has officially begun with the participation of more than 120 vintage and modern vehicles from around the world. This edition, organised by Octanium Experiences, sees Sharjah collaborating as the official destination partner, featuring a dedicated race route that showcases some of the emirate’s most iconic natural and tourist landmarks.

Al Midfa told Sharjah24 that the race’s Sharjah section included visits to major attractions, most notably Sharjah Safari, the largest safari outside Africa, and Al Suhub Rest Area in Khorfakkan. He noted that the ascent of classic cars towards the peak — reaching an altitude of around 600 metres — provided participants with a unique and memorable experience. Drivers expressed admiration for the emirate’s natural vistas, rugged mountains, and diverse landscapes.

Sharjah’s selection reflects its global events reputation

Al Midfa highlighted that Sharjah’s selection as the official destination partner underlines its growing international profile on the global events calendar. The emirate’s involvement demonstrates its ability to host world-class events while showcasing its diverse tourism, cultural, and environmental assets.

Strategic contribution to tourism and cultural promotion

He noted that hosting this prestigious international event plays a vital role in advancing Sharjah’s tourism ambitions, enhancing its economic and cultural stature, and highlighting its heritage sites, eco-attractions, and family-oriented destinations. The emirate’s involvement also encourages collaboration with international organisers and elevates its profile among global visitors.

Future editions to introduce expanded routes and new sites

Al Midfa announced that upcoming editions of the 1000 Miglia UAE will feature an expanded route, with more destinations in Sharjah added to enrich the experience and foster a deeper connection to the emirate’s cultural landscape. The aim is to raise awareness of Sharjah’s rich identity, historic sites, and distinctive natural features.
