UAE
UAE Launch 2027
Bigger, bolder, and dedicated to movement, wellness and optimisation, it feels like the right place to launch Strive into this part of the world.This is five days that move through the full spectrum, fast and slow, wild and still, city and desert. We arrive into Abu Dhabi and don't stop moving until the desert makes us. By the end, you'll have covered 100 kilometres on a bike, paddled through ancient mangroves, watched a falcon hunt at dusk, and eaten under the stars with a group of people who feel, somehow, like they've always been part of your story.
Each day will be different from the last but will follow a similar rhythm. We move between city and desert, water and road, action and stillness, with long meals, honest conversations, and the kind of evenings that only happen when the right people are in the right place.
