Dakar Rally™
The Dakar Rally is the most famous and grueling off-road endurance race in the world. Originally known as the Paris-Dakar Rally, the event relocated entirely to Saudi Arabia in 2020 after signing a 10-year hosting agreement, marking the first time the race was held in Asia.
about
dakar rally
Because the race covers thousands of kilometers across some of the most remote and visually spectacular terrain on earth—from the towering dunes of the Empty Quarter to the ancient heritage sites of AlUla—it is as much a showcase of cinematic, hyper-detailed landscapes as it is a test of mechanical endurance.
