We'll meet the Dakar Rally drivers at the Dakar bivouac. Entry is required by the drivers, which can be booked as an extra through Ride Xpower.

Overnight stay at the hotel, and the evening is free. Participants who visit the bivouac will have meals included.

The Dakar Rally kicks off the second leg of the Dakar with a super-long stage.

We also set off very early and drive a good portion of the 700 km into the Empty Quarter. Participants with enduro and buggies use the shuttle, while 4x4 and adventure bikes drive the route themselves.

We meet up with the Dakar Rally shortly before the end of the stage and witness the finish line live.

In the evening, we set up camp, where we will stay for the next two nights while the Dakar Rally completes a loop stage.

Overnight stay at the desert camp; breakfast, lunch snacks, dinner, drinks, and water are provided at the camp.

We can approach this stage a little more relaxed since we're returning to the same camp.

We're at the start, trying to reach a refueling or activity point on the loop. This day is ideal for a dune adventure with driving practice in the sand.

Sunset on a dune is on the agenda for this day.

Overnight at the desert camp; breakfast, lunch snacks, dinner, drinks, and water will be provided at the camp.

The two-day marathon stage of the Dakar gives us the opportunity to cover the 300 km from the Empty Quarter largely off-road, and also to find the best spectator points and do some off-roading the next day until the rally arrives. The area around Bisha has great desert tracks.

Overnight at the desert camp; breakfast, lunch snacks, dinner, drinks, and water will be provided at the camp. 

Good by Dakar Rally and Saudi Arabia. Departure from Bisha Airport.
