Saudi-Syrian motorcycle rally to promote cultural exchange

The 2026 Saudi-Syrian Motorcycle Rally is scheduled to take place from October 3 to October 12. Organized by the United Motorcyclists Group in Saudi Arabia and the Arab World, the event features approximately 40 to 45 Saudi riders participating in a journey designed to foster brotherhood and cultural exchange between the Saudi and Syrian people.

The route begins in Jeddah, traveling approximately 1,600 km through Yanbu, Al Wajh, Duba, Neom, and Haql before entering Jordan and ultimately reaching Syria. The itinerary includes tours in Damascus, Latakia, and several other Syrian cities.

Mustafa Al-Sharif, President of the United Motorcyclists Group and Chairman of the Travelers Committee at the Arab Union, stated that the rally serves as a message of affection and a continuation of the growing political, economic, and cultural rapprochement between the two nations. Beyond its social goals, the rally aims to promote safe driving culture and enhance the practice of motorcycle sports.
