Red Bull Dune Bash Returns to Qatar This February

The adrenaline-fueled Red Bull Dune Rush is returning to Qatar’s desert for its second edition on February 13–14, 2026, bringing high-octane off-road racing action to the iconic sand dunes of Sealine near Mesaieed.

Following a successful inaugural run, this year’s Red Bull Dune Rush promises an even more intense competition, featuring production 4×4 vehicles and Side-by-Side (SxS) machines navigating a thrilling multi-stage course designed to test speed, skill, and vehicle control against the backdrop of Qatar’s dramatic desert landscape.

The two-day event kicks off with qualifying rounds on February 13, where drivers race against the clock to secure their best times. Competitors who advance will take on challenging precision and maneuvering stages the following day, including navigating through gates and conquering tricky dune features in a head-to-head desert showdown.

Adding prestige to the competition, motorsport legend Nasser Al-Attiyah, widely regarded as the “King of the Dunes,” will be on site, lending his expertise and inspiration to both racers and spectators alike.

Open to both amateur racers and off-road enthusiasts, the event underscores Qatar’s growing reputation as a destination for motorsports and outdoor adventure experiences. While the number of participant slots is limited and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, spectators can attend and watch the dune-bashing spectacle unfold across the desert sands.

As excitement builds for this year’s edition, Red Bull Dune Rush continues to attract competitors and fans eager to witness high-speed desert motorsport action under the Arabian sun.
