The Automobile and Touring Club of the UAE (ATCUAE) is the only officially nominated representative of the FIA, motor sport's world governing body, in the UAE and its motor cycling, karting and classic car counterparts - the FIM, CIK and FIVA. It is also the only FIA-authorised organisation in the UAE to issue international driving permits, as well as carnet de passage en douane (trip tickets) and international certificates, which simplify customs formalities for motoring tourists and travellers. The ATC UAE is also developing driver awareness campaigns on road safety, vehicle safety and the environment.
The Club was established in 1965 and has offices in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and Al Ain.
The Club also authorises, supports and organises the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge - the opening round of both the FIA Cross Country Rally World Cup and the FIM Cross Country Rallies World Championship. It also organises a round of the FIA Middle East Rally Championship - the Dubai International Rally.
The ATCUAE is also involved in many non-racing activities that promote the sport, its safety, and support relevant public policy. Since 1973 it has been an affiliated member of Alliance Internationale de Tourisme (AIT), the leading and most successful international body concerned with motoring, touring, roadside assistance services and outdoor leisure.
