A spirit of adventure is ingrained into Emirati culture, said H.E Ahmad Bin Shafar, Chief Executive Officer, Empower.

Therefore, events like the Emirates Desert Championships are essential to preserving this unique facet of our country.

The championship for the year 2014-2015 includes six-rounds for off- road motorsports. The event was established in 2013 to safeguard the future of rallying in the UAE and to enhance the nations motorsport discipline. The race includes categories for cross-country cars, cross-country buggies, motorcycles and quads.
