Sahara Raid Experience

A Rally For Everyone — 2026

Our Mission

A Rally For Everyone

Proudly Moroccan — built for the spirit of adventure and camaraderie.

Passion Without Breaking the Bank

The goal for Sahara Raid Experience has always been to offer off-road enthusiasts a place to enjoy their passion without breaking the bank. Proudly Moroccan, it promises to its participants a sense of adventure and camaraderie worthy of the spirit of old rallies, where comfort was minimal and the challenge offered a thousand stories to share.

2026 Edition

New Format. New Team. New Organisation.

The Sahara Raid Experience grows stronger every year.

New Format

Timed & Roadbook Navigation

Rally + Raid Categories

We are introducing not only roadbook navigation, but Sahara Raid Experience is also becoming timed — making it the perfect rally to test, train, and get experience for bigger rallies. The original categories are kept for those who want a pure raid experience.

New Team

Made by Moroccans

Wilderness Wheels Partnership

The only rally with a majority Moroccan organisation — made by Moroccans for the rest of the world. Members of the Wilderness Wheels team will take organisational roles, bringing a wealth of experience to this year's edition.
