Originally for cars only, motorcycles and quads are allowed since 1995 and trucks since 2002.[3][4]
The event was originally known as the UAE Desert Challenge, since it spanned several emirates of the country. Since 2009, the route includes five stages (plus a Super Special stage) entirely within the Abu Dhabi emirate, and the title changed to the current one.[5][6]
