According to Spanish newspaper Marca, the legendary Dakar Rally will be held in Morocco next year, departing from its recent location in Saudi Arabia. The decision to relocate the iconic desert rally stems from the volatile political situation in the Middle East. For several years, Saudi Arabia hosted the challenging race, but organizers have opted to move the competition to a different country and continent entirely. Morocco is located in North Africa and offers a suitable alternative for the grueling motorsport event. This shift signifies a response to ongoing regional uncertainties and a desire to ensure the safety and smooth execution of the rally. The change represents a return to the rally's historical roots in the African continent.
