Check the Blog post "How to insure yourself and your bike for travelling abroad".
For those seeking insurance for themselves, their family and their bikes whilst travelling abroad for a race or just for pleasure, the blog attached together with the documents from GIG will help you find a solution to the problem. The key points are:
1) take travel insurance for yourself and your family
2) buy an annual home and contents policy from GIG and declare your bicycle as personal belongings (this is the part that insures your bike)
3) pack your bike in a hard-shell bike box such as a Bikebox Alan from Sported.ae (https://www.sported.ae/product/bike-box-rental/)
4) take a bike lock with you and ensure it is not left unlocked when unattended.
5) read the small print so you know what is covered when, and what is not.
