12 selected Wialon partners. 5 intense days in the heart of Saudi Arabia’s desert. 1 extraordinary, once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
Wialon Challenge Dakar 2026 What to expect
In January 2026, a select group from the Wialon partner community will embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure along the route of the legendary Dakar Rally. This is not a luxury tour through the dunes, but a true test of skill, endurance, and teamwork — a survival challenge in the unforgiving landscapes of Saudi Arabia.
I have no doubt that the Wialon community can rise to any challenge. In 2023, we climbed an active volcano in Indonesia to prove our strength, unity, and determination. In 2024, we celebrated our professional milestones by running over 4,000 kilometers together. Now, an even greater test lies ahead — five thrilling days in the sands of Saudi Arabia. A truly epic adventure awaits, one that will push us further than ever before.
