Bike Week was created in 2005 as a Harley Davidson
Rally, attracting riders from right across the GCC -
specifically reaching out to owners of this unique
bike, its mythology and its riding experience. Whilst
the Dubai Bike Week brand lives on and is the annual
gathering for Harley riders, its marriage to
Gulf Bike Expo ensured that a truly international
platform was created for all manufacturers and all
riders to experience a bike festival here in the
Middle East. The association with Gulf Bike Expo

develop as one community, driving awareness and
respect whilst on our roads and within our cities
