Gulf royals are now actively engaging in a variety of adventure sports, including Dakar car rallies, desert dirt biking, horse racing, triathlons, and more. This shift not only promotes tourism and youth involvement but also showcases a modern and dynamic image for the royals. Yazeed Al-Rajhi’s historic Dakar Rally win, Prince Khalid’s motorsport promotion, and Qatari princes’ interest in dirt biking signal a new era of youth-led adventure in the Gulf region. These activities align with national visions for economic diversification and community engagement.
