About this trip
Who is this tour for
This tour brings you on a 5-day trip to the final of the Dakar Rally into the Empty Quarter.
The Sea of Dunes in the empty quarter - the ultimate landscape in Saudi Arabia.
An incredible adventure into the largest uninhabited sand desert in the world. We will take you on an almost extreme adventure in an off-road vehicle with an overnight stay in the endless sand dunes. For three full days we are practically on our own and provide for ourselves completely in desert camps.
You have the choice to drive the 4x4 alone, following the guide's vehicle, or let an experienced driver take on the challenge of tackling the off-road sections.
Definitely a once in a lifetime adventure with the comfort and safety of a 4x4 like Toyota Landcruiser, HiLux or similar.
Visits to the Dakar Bivouac
The Dakar allows accredited individuals access to selected bivouacs as part of a guided VIP tour. Ride Xpower tour participants are automatically accredited.
The day ticket costs approximately €300 and can be ordered through Ride Xpower. Admission is limited and should be booked well in advance.
For detailed information and availability, please contact us before the start of the tour; experience has shown that the organizers post ticket information very late.
