In January 2025, five volunteer members of SFC will retrace the epic steps of Nasir, Bekri, Abu Tayi and T.E. Lawrence, by retracing their steps and riding camels the entire route.
Their mission: to raise funds through your donations to the SFC Benevolent Fund.
The ride will take 25 days, the riders and camels will cover 50 kilometres a day and camp overnight.
The five riders and 10 camels will climb the Hejaz mountains up to the Nefud Plain, then take the long ride of 250 kilometers across the Nefud to the Tubarjal oasis before heading north-west to Jordan before turning south-west to Bayir and Mraigha before crossing the finish line at the historic site of Aqaba fort.
Each rider is assigned two camels to ensure a camel is rested every other day and the Trek will be accompanied by three support vehicles with medical and camel-care expertise.
The riders and support crew will live on sustenance rations throughout the trek.
