Upholding Al Masaood’s efforts to support sports and heritage related activities, Al Masaood Automobiles Nissan and INFINITI, recently sponsored the Ghanadah 60ft Dhow Sailing Race. Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler’s Representative in Al Dhafra Region, and organised by Abu Dhabi Marine Sports Club, the event brought together dhow owners and skilled sailors competing across 25 nautical miles. 

Our collaboration with Abu Dhabi Marine Sports Club included presenting two flagship models, the All New 2026 INFINITI QX80 and the 2026 Nissan Patrol, as prizes for the winners. Their presence reflected the essence of Abu Dhabi, where prestige and passion meet on land and at sea. 

Participating in traditional events such as this reflects more than a sporting interest for Al Masaood Automobiles. It builds upon the Group’s long-standing commitment to activities that highlight the UAE’s identity and aligns with our vision of Embracing Heritage and Delivering Value to the community. With more than 90 traditional sailing dhows taking part, the annual race preserves the nation’s maritime heritage and keeps alive the practices that once shaped the lives of our ancestors.
