Dakar 2024: The Detailed Route

“We took it upon ourselves to make the 5th edition of Saudi Arabia the toughest one since the race came to the Middle East”, warned the director of the rally, David Castera, when unveiling the details of the 46th edition, which will start in AlUla on 5 January and finish in Yanbu, on the shores of the Red Sea, after a 7,891 km trek on roads, tracks and dunes, including 4,727 km of specials.

One of the challenges introduces a new paradigm for exploring the Empty Quarter desert: “48h chrono” held over two days in which the competitors, scattered among eight bivouacs, will be basically left to their own devices.
