The UAE Desert Challenge in Dubai is a rally across some of the most dramatic and demanding terrain. Drivers from all over the world race their cars, trucks and motorbikes on a five-day journey through the desert.
The event begins with a ceremonial start in Abu Dhabi and heads south into the desert. The race is based at the Moreeb Hill Bivouac, close to the Liwa Oasis, and special stages stretch out into the legendary Rub Al Khali or Empty Quarter, a perfect name for one of the largest sand deserts in the world. Nerves and endurance are crucial survival tools, as well as some hardcore driving skills.

Spectators can enjoy tented accommodation and catering at the Bivouac, as well as attendance at the Gala Dinner where the prizes are awarded. This can be arranged by completing the form available on the UAE Desert Challenge website.
