Al Ula to Ha’il total of 564km
Liaison > 211 km – Special > 353 km
In the sandy surroundings of the day, humongous rocks will serve as landmarks to avoid costly navigation mistakes! Less technical but just as impressive as dunes, gigantic sandy hills stand to attention in front of the drivers. The descents, occasionally scattered with desert grass, will require even more advanced driving skills.
Stage 4 put paid to the aspirations of bikers Xavier de Soultrait, Ivan Jakeš and Daniel Albero Puig, as well as local trucker Turki Mohammed Al Sudairy.
