501 Vehicles Break Off-Road World Record in Saudi Arabia
Over 500 off-road vehicles smashed through the dunes of Saudi Arabia's Hail region, setting a new Guinness World Record and putting the scenic desert destination on the global adventure map. Families, friends, and thrill-seekers from across the Gulf came together to make history.
A convoy of 501 off-road vehicles just roared through the Saudi desert, shattering the previous world record and proving that sometimes the best way to celebrate your region is to drive straight through it.
The massive rally took place in Tuwaren, a stunning desert area 42 kilometers northwest of Hail, surrounded by the dramatic Aja Mountains. The previous record of 449 vehicles, set in Australia, didn't stand a chance.
Drivers from Saudi Arabia and neighboring Gulf countries navigated a 7-kilometer unpaved trail through rolling dunes. The event welcomed everyone from seasoned off-road veterans to complete newcomers, making it perfect for solo adventurers, friend groups, and families looking for winter entertainment.
Prince Abdulaziz bin Saad bin Abdulaziz, governor of Hail Province, thanked the Kingdom's leadership for supporting regional development. He particularly praised the young people who helped make the record-breaking event possible.
The achievement wasn't just about breaking a record. Omar Abdullah Al-Abdul-Jabbar, CEO of Hail Region Development Authority, called it a national milestone that strengthens Hail's position as a premier destination for desert adventures.
The Ripple Effect
This record-breaking convoy is already transforming how people see Hail. The region is leveraging its natural terrain and adventure spirit to attract tourists and outdoor enthusiasts from across the Middle East.
The event required massive coordination, bringing together 14 government entities including the Saudi Tourism Authority, the Hail Region Development Authority, and the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation. Cultural and entertainment activities accompanied the convoy, turning the record attempt into a full-blown celebration of regional pride and outdoor adventure.
The success proves that tourism development doesn't always need luxury hotels or theme parks. Sometimes all you need is open desert, good vehicles, and people willing to make history together.
