A World Rally-Raid Championship round crossing Moroccan dunes, stony plateaus and mountain tracks for cars, bikes, quads and trucks, and traditionally the decisive event of the rally-raid season.

The public shakedown at the Agadir start is free, close-up and the only point in the week where every car and bike is in one place - after that the bivouac moves daily and following needs a 4x4 and a guide.
