Highway to the Sands | Liwa International Festival at Moreeb Dune

Spanning hundreds of kilometers of open desert highway, this epic long-distance ride pushed our endurance, tested our formations, and brought the pack face-to-face with one of the most striking landscapes on the planet! A 300-meter-high wall of sand soaring into the desert sky. From the city streets deep into the Empty Quarter, what a way to cap off 2024! Salute to every rider who took on the long road to Liwa.
