1000 Miglia Experience UAE

1000 Miglia Experience UAE

This invitation-only event was open to 100 owners of landmark automobiles, from legendary classics to iconic supercars of the modern era. Over the course of four thrilling days, participants crossed all seven Emirates, driving their cars against the clock while enjoying the finest hospitality. Members of the public had a rare opportunity to see these magnificent machines in the metal, being driven as they were truly meant to be experienced.

The staging of the first 1000 Miglia Experience UAE represented yet another proud achievement for this young nation, which had accomplished global fame as a centre for both business excellence and exotic luxury travel.
