A tarmac track in the middle of a trip dominated by sand: karting shifts gears entirely. The circuit is a professional one, 1.3 kilometres long, out in the Al Badayer desert. Two formats are on offer: twenty minutes to try your hand at driving without a long commitment, forty to have time to work on your racing lines. Both work well for a group that wants to compare times on a shared clock.
Welcome at the paddock, gear handed out and a briefing on the track rules: recommended racing lines, flags, what to do in a collision, distance between drivers. The layout alternates straights long enough to hit top speed with tight corners that make you work on your braking points. The low seat greatly amplifies the sensation of speed.
Good to know: minimum age 16. No licence is required, and full equipment plus the safety briefing are included.
