THE SAUDI ARABIA GRAND DRIVE
Dakar Edition

Jan'27

An invitation-only passage through Saudi Arabia’s most dramatic landscapes — deserts, canyons, and heritage carved by time. Over 2,000 km of endurance culminate in the Dakar Rally — the toughest motorsport event on earth.

Guided by a Dakar racer, you won’t just watch history, you’ll live inside it: standing at private vantage points, sharing bivouac with teams, and driving across terrains where legends are made. And when the desert rests, indulgence begins — from refined Arabian resorts to world-class hospitality, every night is a reminder that luxury and endurance can co-exist.

More than a journey, this is a test of spirit and privilege — reserved for those who thrive where few dare to go.

Highlights

  • Self-drive desert-tested 4x4s across Saudi’s raw frontiers.
  • Insider access to Dakar Rally stages and restricted vantage points.
  • Guided by a Dakar racer, with insights outsiders never see.
  • Invitation-only gatherings with global patrons of speed and endurance.
  • A seamless blend of extreme adventure, heritage, and indulgence.

Cost

Per person: INR 5,75,000 + GST (≈ USD 6,358)
