Start
The Red Sea start
King Abdullah Economic City, 1–2 January. Prologue, podium atmosphere and the first departure into the desert — with a Red Sea base before you leave.
01 — 15 January 2027 · Saudi Arabia · 49th Dakar
The desert
is the circuit.
Dakar Rally 2027, privately planned. 5,320 km against the clock, from the Red Sea into the desert and back — and a client experience that moves with the race.
Start & finish: King Abdullah Economic City · 8th edition in Saudi Arabia · Dates subject to organiser confirmation
No circuit. No grandstand. No single city.
This is not a race track.
It's a country.
The Dakar moves. The landscape changes, the bivouac moves, the competitors move — and so do the spectators. There is no fixed base for two weeks and no normal race-week logistics.
So the client experience has to move too. LUND GROUP plans the aviation, vehicles, guides, hotels and timing that let you follow the race — not the crowd.

Plan around this day →Start? Desert? Bivouac? Finish?
Four ways into the race.
Desert
A stage, in the desert
Official spectator zones are typically confirmed by the organiser shortly before each stage. We plan around that window: vehicles, guides, timing and a safe return.
Bivouac
Where the Dakar sleeps
The bivouac moves every night. Where public or accredited access is possible, we arrange the logistics to get close without inventing access that does not exist.
Finish
Back to the Red Sea
Fifteen days later, the finish returns to King Abdullah Economic City. Arrive for the final stage and podium, then stay by the water.
Stars above. Dakar nearby.
Where the Dakar sleeps.
Two marathon stages mean nights with no normal service park. We plan desert nights and hotels near the route so you stay close to the race — with access arranged only where it is genuinely confirmed.
One rally. Multiple airports.
The race moves. So should your flight plan.
Private jet is the easy part — the desert starts after landing. We coordinate jets into airports along the route, helicopter positioning where permitted, and the 4×4 vehicles, drivers and guides that take you from the runway to an official spectator zone.

Questions
Before the desert.
Is LUND GROUP the official Dakar organiser or a ticket seller?+
No. LUND GROUP is an independent private travel and concierge company. We are not affiliated with the Dakar Rally, A.S.O. or any team, and we do not sell official tickets or accreditation.
Can you get us into the bivouac or team areas?+
Only where access genuinely exists and is confirmed in writing by the relevant party. We never promise bivouac, team or paddock access in advance.
How do we watch a stage in the desert?+
The organiser designates spectator zones for each stage, usually shortly before it runs. We build your day around those official zones with experienced drivers, guides and safety planning.
Which airports can we use?+
Depending on the stages you choose, private flights can be planned into airports along the route such as Jeddah, AlUla, Hail, Bisha or Al Bahah, subject to permits and operator availability.
Are the dates and route final?+
Dates and distances shown follow the published 2027 route but remain subject to change by the organiser. We confirm every detail before booking.
Do you publish prices?+
No. Every Dakar programme is private and built to your dates, stages, group size and aviation. We quote on request.
