The first part of the route will unveil new special stages on demanding terrain. From the very first kilometers, participants will have to navigate through technical zones that demand precision and composure. Then, as if to reward this intense effort, the route opens out onto unexplored sandy landscapes, punctuated by majestic dunes.

A true test of endurance and mastery for every competitor! The fast tracks will then take them to Dakhla, where the rally will take a well-deserved break in exceptional surroundings for the traditional rest day.

The first transition stage to Er Rachidia will be ideal for novices in the Historic category to familiarize themselves with the regularity competition and its specific roadbook. They will face a Zone de Régularité (ZR) laid out through the superb cedar forests of the Middle Atlas highlands. But they'll learn quickly: from the second stage onwards, they'll be competing in no fewer than 6 ZRs. This intensive program will continue over the next three stages, on Moroccan trails renowned for their variety and technicality. The rest day in Dakhla will be most welcome!

And that's only the beginning! Our reconnaissance team is already in Mauritania, exploring a route as technical as it is mythical through the dunes, ready to offer legendary moments to all competitors.
