AMMAN, JORDAN – Jordan Motorsport is putting the final touches to a challenging route for the Jordan Baja, round seven of eight in both the FIA World Baja Cup and FIM Bajas World Cup, and round three of the FIA Middle East Baja Cup. The event runs from Aqaba on November 14–16.
We are really looking forward to hosting the Jordan Baja for November 14-16 with the finishing touches being put to what we expect to be an extremely challenging route.

We place the safety of our competitors and visitors to the heart of everything we do and we can’t wait to welcome back our friends from the FIA World Baja Cup and the FIM Bajas World Cup.

Both world series run over eight rounds, with the Middle East deciding both titles in Jordan and Dubai. The FIA Middle East Baja Cup has four rounds. The Kingdom’s premier off-road event uses the world-famous desert of Wadi Rum in southern Jordan, and entries close on Wednesday, November 6.
FIA crews will contest the Ultimate, Challenger and SSV categories, alongside motorcyclists and quad riders fighting for overall, Junior, Veteran and Ladies honours in the FIM series.
Based at the Hyatt Regency Aqaba Ayla Resort, competitors face 566.46 competitive kilometres, including a 2km Prologue in Aqaba and stages of 349.14km and 214.32km in the surrounding deserts.
