Most visitors come to Al-ʿUla to marvel at the prehistoric sites in the area and the jaw-dropping Nabataean temples on which it stakes its claim to fame, testament to a civilisation thriving for several millennia in a region spanning Jordan. Tourists also come to indulge their senses at the high-end hotels embedded harmoniously in the natural environment, but the riders and crews of the Dakar will be spending the night at an entirely different type of accommodation following 415 km of racing.
Prior to camping out in Berber tents, the competitors weaved their way around canyons, surged up rocky plateaus and turned on the afterburners on flat sandy expanses. Daniel Sanders and Yazeed Al Rajhi got a salutary boost heading into the second half of the marathon stage.
