Oman Rally

The Rally Oman, formerly known as the Oman International Rally, is an international rally racing event conducted to the south and southeast of Muscat, the Omani capital. The Oman Automobile Association is in charge of the event.

It's a fantastic opportunity for tourists to immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere and have fun together. Omani landscape is especially conducive for racing, with its abundant deserts, lush wadis, gravel mountains, and a real sense of wilderness. This event involves both local and international teams, so it's very interesting to join and support your favorite team. The rally, which began in 1979 and is mostly held on gravel roads and sand, has been a staple of the Middle East Rally Championship (MERC) and the Gulf Rally Challenge before it, as well as the Oman Rally Championship.

Swedish driver Harry Källström won the first two events until Qatari driver Saeed Al-Hajri became the first Arabian driver to win in 1981. After a brief hiatus, the rally was reintroduced as a round of the Omani championship in 2013.
