Abu Dhabi to host it's first Sail Grand Prix in January 2024
On January 13-14, Abu Dhabi is set to host an exciting water race, as it gears up for the first Abu Dhabi Sail Grand Prix.
As one of the world’s fastest growing sports leagues heads to the capital, you'll get to witness ten teams going head-to-head on the waters of Abu Dhabi's historic port, Mina Zayed.
Abu Dhabi is the latest addition to Season four, which also includes venues such as New York, Los Angeles, Sydney, Saint-Tropez, and San Francisco.
