To be held under the patronage of Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, the grand parade aims to showcase the largest convoy of super, luxury, classic and exotic vehicles in Dubai.

“Car fans and motoring aficionados can take part, follow, and watch what promises to be one of the most diverse collection of luxury and super Cars as they cruise through Dubai,” she added.
Throughout the grand parade, every individual with a special car or collection of automobiles will have the opportunity to drive together with like-minded individuals and create a festive ambience that can be shared by residents and visitors alike.
Car and bike clubs have lauded the initiative with the Ferrari Owner’s Club UAE and the UAE Aston Martin Owner’s Club pledging full support.
“We are delighted with a prestigious car parade right here in Dubai that unites the grandest and most celebrated auto marques in the world.
