SAUDI ARABIA PRACTICAL GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was founded in 1932 unifying the regions into one single State. In the heart of the Arabian Peninsula on the Asian continent, its territor y of more than 2 million km2 and 13 provinces represent an unexpected land with landscapes never seen before by the Dakar Family.
Engaged in a societal transformation program and welcoming major international events (concerts, Formula E, football matches, boxing game…), our countr y has its own normative system and culture.
In order to better understand Saudi Arabia and to prepare your stay, you will find practical information in this short guide.
Welcome to the Dakar Rally 3rd Chapter!
