If you’re an adventurer dying for some off-roading and dune-bashing thrills, this is the ultimate action-packed day for you. Khaleej Times brings you the third edition of Khaleej Times Desert Drive — all set to take off to the deserts of Ras Al Khaimah.

After a successful launch in 2019, the one-day event is set to return on February 26, ready to give participants that adrenaline rush in an 
unforgettable desert adventure.

KT Desert Drive will cruise through varying levels of challenging terrain on the way to the final camp.

Perfect for both adventure junkies and newbies — as well as families — the self-driven journey will give residents a chance to explore the desert, leaving their concerns with the 
expert marshals who will be with them every step of the way.

Since its launch, the annual drive has been one of the highly anticipated events of the year and the 2021 edition promises to be no different.

Keeping the new normal in mind, KT Desert Drive prioritises participants’ ultimate comfort, safety and security. Enhanced health and safety measures will be applied throughout the journey. Showing their support as a lead sponsor this year, Mitsubishi Motors–Montero Sport will be the new leader of the pack for the drive.

“The new generation Montero Sport comes with Mitsubishi’s advanced technology and decades of off-road expertise crafted into a luxurious and advanced SUV. Its outstanding on and off-road performance makes it fun to drive. With its class-leading 5.6m turning radius, it is easy to park and drive. The Montero is a beautifully crafted seven-seater that’s perfect for families and off-road enthusiasts,” said CV Ravin, general manager for sales at Al Habtoor Motors-Mitsubishi.

Besides the lead sponsor, Khaleej Times Desert Drive is also supported by Castrol, the exclusive lubricant partner; Al Jazira Poultry, checkpoint sponsor; and Dubai Offroaders. For further information, get in touch with us at events@khaleejtimes.com
