Offroad Tour Days

On Day 4 day we shuttle you early in the morning to Al-Ula where we catch up the Rally at the offroad final.

The Dakar Rally has left and we are trying to catch up with it over the next four off-road days on routes similar to the rally route. Since the Dakar only announces the route the evening before the next stage, we have to choose our route taking into account the off-road starts and finishes to meet it. On these days we concentrate on off-road driving in the breathtaking landscape of Saudi Arabia and meet the Dakar again in the paddock in Riyadh on the rest day at the latest. It is impossible to follow the stages with 600 to 900 km per day on a tour. Overnight stay in desert camps. Breakfast, lunch snacks, dinner, drinks and water are provided at the camps.


Dakar Bivouac tickets are not included in the package.
