Event description

The RMDHA challenge is about walking barefoot on hot sand in the middle of the day. Take the challenge for a unique experience and register COMPLIMENTARY.

Ramdha means ‘hot sand’ in Arabic. As per the rules and regulations, participants need to walk in burning heat over the set distance without any footwear or use of any oils or substances on their feet.

Athletes will be allowed to take breaks at specific rest points, located at every 10 meters throughout the course. The number and length of breaks will ultimately count and decide on the final time at the end of the competition. The winner of the Challenge will be the fastest one to walk the 150 meters.

Walking barefoot in the hot desert sand is not just a challenge, but also has varied healthy aspects to it.
