Organizers of the Jeddah Rally have announced an exciting incentives package for competitors keen to take part in the new-look event Jan. 30 – Feb. 1 next year.

To be held under the patronage of Prince Khalid Al-Faisal, governor of the Makkah region, and Prince Mishaal bin Majed, governor of Jeddah and head of the Jeddah Rally’s Higher Organizing Committee, the three-day Jeddah Rally will be a cross-country style event open to FIA T1 and T2 entrants and motorcycles.

It is the second event of its kind to run in the Kingdom and follows in the footsteps of the Ha’il Rally, a former round of the FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Bajas.

International competitors will be offered $1,500 toward their shipping costs to Jeddah and six nights’ hotel accommodation in twin rooms. Entrants from GCC countries will be given $1,000 toward shipping and offered a similar six-night hotel package.

Local competitors will be offered $265 (SR1,000) toward their transportation costs, five nights’ accommodation and free entry for privateers.

The event is being organized with the support of the Higher Committee of the Jeddah Rally in cooperation with the General Presidency of Youth Welfare, Jeddah Municipality, the Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities in the Makkah region, Saudi Red Crescent in Makkah, the Jeddah Police and Traffic Departments and Civil Defense Administration in Jeddah.
