New Stages in the Mystic South of Tunisia
A New Chapter Begins in the Heart of the Sahara
Get ready for an unforgettable adventure: the Fenix Rally returns to Tunisia for its fifth edition, promising a bold new route, greater challenges, and the timeless magic of the Sahara. Set between October 29 and November 6, 2025, this rally-raid is more than a competition — it's a celebration of endurance, discovery, and the raw beauty of off-road racing.
Organized by RBI Sport, the team behind the renowned Rallye Breslau and Baja Europe, the Fenix Rally has rapidly gained international recognition for its unique format, professional logistics, and soul-stirring routes. For 2025, the rally evolves once again — venturing deeper into the southern regions of Tunisia, where legends such as the Dakar, Optic 2000, and Rallye de Tunisie have carved their legacy.
Seven Stages, Countless Stories
The 2025 edition will kick off with a high-intensity Prologue, setting the tone for seven competitive stages that combine speed, strategy, and navigation. From endless sand seas and towering dunes to fast gravel tracks and winding desert trails, the Fenix Rally offers a complete rally-raid experience.
Midway through the event, a dedicated rest day will allow teams to recover, maintain their vehicles, and enjoy the camaraderie of the bivouac. This essential break in the rhythm of competition strengthens the spirit of the rally: endurance paired with human connection.
Why Tunisia, Why Now
The move to late October and early November brings with it ideal racing conditions: warm days, cool nights, and minimal wind. The new dates not only ensure better weather, but also create a better balance in the international rally calendar, especially for teams participating in both Breslau and Fenix.
“Tunisia is the spiritual home of rally-raid. We are proud to continue this tradition with a new-generation event that respects the past and looks to the future. The 2025 edition will be our most complete yet — pure adventure, real racing, and the full emotion of the desert.” — Alexander Kovatchev, Rally Director and Founder of RBI Sport
