JEDDAH: The highly-anticipated Rally Saudi Arabia Powered by Jameel Motorsport, the first-ever FIA World Rally Championship round to be held in the Kingdom, is now less than 10 days away.
Promoted by the Saudi Motorsport Co. with the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation and under the supervision of the Ministry of Sport, the rally takes place in Jeddah from Nov. 26 to 29 as the concluding round of the 2025 WRC season.
This edition will feature 82 drivers and co-drivers of 25 nationalities competing in three categories. Competitors will race a total of 1,218 km, including 319 km of 17 special stages.
The route will cut through the varied terrains surrounding Jeddah, passing through Khulais, Asfan, Thahban, Umm Al-Jurm, Al-Ghawla, and Wadi Al-Mutwi.
Designed as a fast, technical challenge, the course will test precision, adaptability and endurance — while highlighting the dramatic landscapes of western Saudi Arabia, according to the organizers.
Ahead of the main event, a parade of participating cars will be held along the Jeddah Corniche on Nov. 21, giving fans a rare chance to see the world’s leading drivers and teams up close.
Participants will also tour Historic Jeddah and celebrate the city’s rich heritage.
The finale marks a major milestone for the Kingdom and reinforces Saudi Arabia’s emergence as a global motorsport hub.
The achievement reflects the leadership’s support for the sector under Vision 2030, which aims to diversify the economy, empower the youth, and establish Jeddah as a world-class destination for sporting events.
