Everything you need to know

The details.

The Dune Cup kicks off and wraps up in Muscat. You'll head South-West in a vaguely clockwise direction, hitting checkpoints to ensure you catch all the breathtaking spots, and to keep you from wandering into Saudi Arabia.
Not a race. An adventure-driven, challenge-based competition. Challenges include reaching the highest dune with your vehicle, driving the farthest south, or spotting the largest giant turtle. Full challenge list revealed only at the launch event.
Your flights, fuel, the hotel nights for the launch and finish parties, food outside the official events and checkpoints, and your own travel and health insurance. For some Cups there are small per person extras such as an International Driving Permit or entry tickets to specific sites and national parks. Flights aside, across all our events these land somewhere between 30 and 40 euros per person per day. Math made easy.
Your normal driving licence will do for Oman.
Yes, Oman is an increasingly popular and safe tourist destination with no threats to tourists. Just be sure not to step over into Yemen.
Absolutely, mandatory. You need coverage for renting and driving a vehicle in Oman. We recommend Europ Assistance, around €100 per person.
Generally no visa required for stays under 12 days. Requirements vary by country of origin, so check in advance.
Yes, genuinely so. You're driving on rough roads in a remote part of the world. This isn't a glorified holiday. By joining, you're taking full responsibility for the risks involved.
2 to 4 people. The rooftop tent comfortably sleeps 2, so if you're 3 or 4 we also provide a ground tent for the extra members. There is a €440 supplement for a team of 4.
Yes, 24 years and above. This adventure calls for a bit of life and driving experience.
