About Sailing Arabia The Tour:

First launched by Oman Sail in 2011, EFG Sailing Arabia – The Tour has showcased the appeal of Oman as an ideal winter sailing destination to an international audience, and also helped reignite the Sultanate’s long maritime heritage.

In its relatively brief history it has earned a global reputation as a dynamic and high-calibre sailing event that attracts world-class professional sailors and keen amateurs alike. All have embraced an event that stretches each team to the extreme, testing skills, adaptability and endurance.

EFG Sailing Arabia – The Tour is once again the opening event of the 2019 Diam World Tour, which will continue with the Tour Voile and Grand Prix Pacifique Des Jeux, with the possible addition of the Nastro Rosa Italian Tour event to the calendar.
