The UAE Challenge is a golf tournament on the Challenge Tour, Europe's second tier men's professional golf tour, held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.[1]

First played in 2023, the event is held at the Gary Player-designed Saadiyat Beach Golf Club.[2] It is played back-to-back with the Abu Dhabi Challenge, with 30 spots allocated to the Emirates Golf Federation for each event. In 2024, through winning the Al Hamra Men's Amateur Open, 17 year-old amateur Oscar Craig received a spot and made the cut with stepfather Tommy Fleetwood as his caddie.[3]
