Welcome
The Desert Trophy Panda Edition is a genuine raid.
It’s a simple definition, but with as many nuances as there are participants—because each one experiences the Desert Trophy Panda in their own way.
There are those who come with experience and want to compete, those who have never joined a raid and just want to enjoy themselves, those who dream of crossing Morocco without touching asphalt but still want the security of a professional organization, and those who are simply looking for adventure and that’s the one thing we guarantee for everyone!
In fact, you have to come to discover what you’re truly looking for in the Desert Trophy Panda, because sometimes we surprise ourselves and find something we didn’t even know we were searching for. That may be the true spirit of adventure.
That’s why, in the upcoming edition, we offer you three ways to participate in the Desert Trophy Panda:
In the RAID Category (4x2 or 4x4), competing daily for the General Classification and completing 100% of each Stage route;
In the PANDA 169 Category (4x2 or 4x4), with a unique route for both types of vehicles;
Or in the ADVENTURE Category, which avoids the most difficult sections of each stage, offers shorter driving days, and gives participants more free time for sightseeing or a more relaxed experience of the adventure.
The main feature that defines the Desert Trophy Panda is that we are like a real family, where competition, rankings, and challenges take a back seat to solidarity, friendship, long hours spent fixing a friend’s car, and nights filled with laughter and support.
All of this creates a shared feeling: loyalty to a way of life, loyalty to a dream.
Welcome to Desert Trophy Panda Edition 2026—get ready!

BIG NEWS FOR THE 10TH EDITION 2026 – HOTEL BOOKINGS
For this special 10th Edition 2026, we will not offer a fixed hotel package.
Instead, we’ve selected a variety of hotels in each city—of different categories—so each participant can choose their preferred accommodation based on their taste and budget.
All hotels are of good quality (4 and 5)**, and bookings are made with half board (dinner and breakfast), except in Nador, where only bed & breakfast will be offered.
Rooms for our group are limited, so it’s very important to book as soon as possible to guarantee your preferred hotel.
Bookings open July 15, and rooms will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis as registrations are completed.
For the bivouac night, we also offer two options:
A Luxe Berber Tent (with private hot shower and WC inside),
Or a Standard Berber Tent (with shared exterior shower and WC),
both with half board (dinner and breakfast).
You can book double or single rooms.
If any participant has special accommodation needs outside of the standard options, please contact Sports Adventure directly at panda@sports-adventure.es or by phone: +34 680 491 552 / +34 609 292 258.
Visa Requirements for Entry into Morocco
Each participant is personally responsible for verifying the entry requirements to Morocco based on their nationality, country of residence, and passport.
Failure to comply with these regulations may result in being denied boarding by the ferry company or denied entry by Moroccan authorities.
Participants are solely responsible for ensuring their passport is valid and meets requirements.
The organization and agency decline all responsibility in this regard.
