We'll meet the Dakar Rally drivers either at the start of the prologue or at spectator points. Participants who book a ticket for the bivouac will attend the drivers' introduction in the morning and then head to the prologue action. Overnight at the desert camp, breakfast, lunch snacks, dinner, drinks, and water will be provided at the camp.

The Dakar Rally is entering its first stage, which will be held on a circuit around Yanbu. The racers will return to the same bivouac in the evening. The race is on.

We will set up our camp so that we can watch the start of the first stage live and chat with the racers at the start. Overnight accommodation in the desert camp; breakfast, lunch snacks, dinner, drinks, and water will be provided at the camp.

This stage of the rally takes us from Yanbu to Al-Ula.

We'll be there at the start and try to reach a fuel point or action point along the way. After a very long stretch of this stage in a nearly straight line, we'll drive on the road to Al-Ula and arrive roughly at the same time as the racers.

In Al-Ula, we'll set up our next desert camp. Hotels in Al-Ula are very rare and either not very good or have high prices and are located far away.

On this day, sunset at Elephant Rock is a good option; we'll decide this depending on our schedule and weather conditions.

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

The loop in Al-Ula gives us time to either watch the rally at the start, action points, and stage finish, or to use the day to explore the famous Al-Ula and take photos for Instagram and other social media. We'll decide that as a group.

 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 Al-Ula International Airport.
