 Introduction

2022 marks an exciting new chapter for cross-country rallying, as the discipline
becomes the seventh World Championship under the governance of the FIA. The unification of
the FIA and FIM World Championships, consisting of five rounds in their new format, makes
the 2022 season a turning point in the history of rally raids. Its unique and harmonious blend
of the spirit of adventure, extreme endurance, navigation and technical performance turns this
sport into an exceptional spectacle for the stars and fans alike. The five-round inaugural FIA
World Rally-Raid Championship kicks off with the famous Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia, an epic
adventure in the spectacular sand and dunes of the Empty Quarter. The Championship remains
in the Middle East for the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge before heading to Central Asia and
Kazakhstan, where the arid scrublands and deserts of the world’s largest landlocked country
provide another different challenge. Rally Andalucia marks the World Championship’s visit to
Europe, while Rallye du Maroc on the African continent rounds out the season with its wide
range of technical, fast and sandy tracks, as well as dunes.

For the fifth time, Rally Kazakhstan 2022 will be a round of FIA Cross Country Calendar
and for the second time a round of FIM Cross Country World Championship. This year’s Rally
will consist of 5 stages in the Mangystau region of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Fulfilling the
wishes of our permanent participants, the route of the Rally in 2022 will be significally
renovated comparing to with previous years.
The novelty of this year's edition will be new venue of the Rally – Rixos Water World
Aktau the first and only five-star luxury resort hotel with "All Inclusive All Exclusive" concept
in Kazakhstan located on the seashore of the Caspian Sea. Park Ferme / Service Zone and all
necessary facilities will be located just near the main Hotel.
On April 24, 2022, the official headquarters of the competition will open in the
welcoming hotel Rixos Water World Aktau. There will be inspections for the FIA Eurasian
Zone, and on April 25 administrative and technical checks for participants of Rally Raid World
Championship. That evening the ceremonial start will take place on the Caspian Sea shore of
Aktau city with a fascinating view of sunset over the sea. This will be followed by 5 stages from
26 to 30 April on the picturesque Mangystau Region. Finish of the Rally, Prize Giving and
Wards Ceremony will be organized at Rixos Water World Aktau with its great hospitality.

Kazakhstan has eased the rules on crossing state borders for foreign nationals,
according to the Feb. 7 decision of the interdepartmental commission (IDC) on
preventing the spread of the coronavirus infection.

traveling by air from states with a visa-free regime, introduced unilaterally or under
bilateral agreements, as well as citizens of states where regular air travel has resumed.

without issuing visas and obtaining permits from the IDC through the country’s international
airports. But the amendments do not apply to foreign nationals entering the country
by land.
