Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Arrival at the festival

    By 16:00 — the camp at Moreeb Dune: check-in, safety briefing, dune-riding training and vehicle prep. In the evening and at night — viewing points, shows and competitions, a tour of the competing teams.

  2. Day 2

    The long dune route

    A guided caravan route: big dunes, a camel farm and a salt plateau. Lunch and refuelling at Assistance-1, then a hard section on the Desert Challenge track: tall steep dunes and tricky navigation. In the evening — a barbecue and the festival competitions.

  3. Day 3

    Self-navigation and finish

    A morning route in self-navigation mode, return to camp, results and awards for the participants. Lunch and departure.

Traveller reviews

🏜️🔥 DESERT, SPEED AND ADRENALINE! Three days with my son among endless dunes — on buggies and quads! Pedal to the metal, sand flying from under the wheels, wind in the face and emotions that are impossible to put into words! 🏎️💨 Now this is what I call a real vacation! No routine, only drive, freedom and total immersion in the moment. I got incredible sensations, recharged with energy and just had the time of my life! 🤘 And after the desert adventures — a gorgeous hotel with a pool, excellent food, a cool atmosphere and service that I have absolutely no complaints about. Everything is clear-cut, everything is top level! 👌 But the most important thing is the time with my son. Moments like these are worth more than any possessions. Shared adventures, emotions and memories that will stay with us for the rest of our lives! 💪❤️ Life wasn't made for sitting in one place! You need to move, discover new things, catch the adrenaline and enjoy every moment. 🔥 Three days — 100% drive! 🏎️ Dunes — conquered! 💪 Emotions — off the charts! ❤️ Time with my son — priceless! I want to say a big thank you. To Nikita and Alexander, everything was awesome. I'll be back soon, Amigos, get the buggies ready, make them sturdier 💪💪💪
