The KAUST Off-road Exploration Club has been created in response to demand and offers community members the opportunity to learn more about off-road exploring in the Kingdom, and also to build up their experience and expertise with off-roading in the desert.
The aims of the Club are to:
- Provide information on off-road exploration and trips.
- Build experience and confidence in undertaking off-road exploration.
- Increase safety on off-road trips.
- Develop links to local contacts.
- Ensure off-road exploration is undertaken in an environmentally-friendly and sustainable way.
To that end, we plan to:
- Provide information about areas to visit, equipment you should take with you and guidelines to follow.
- Travel to sites in KSA with our members and friends.
- Offer a website and a wiki to share information for interested “off-roaders”.
- Organize training and practice events in off-road driving.
The club is open for all people living in and/or employed at KAUST.
